The figures below summarize the performance and dimensions that matter most when you are matching an aircraft to a trip. They reflect typical configurations; exact numbers vary with weight, weather, and how a given aircraft is equipped.

With a range of approximately 794 nautical miles, the Cessna Stationair is equipped to handle a wide array of regional missions, connecting cities, rural airfields, and remote lodges in a single hop. City pairs such as Denver to Santa Fe, Los Angeles to Lake Tahoe, or Toronto to Quebec City are all within reach without refueling. | The Stationair’s efficient cruise speeds keep total travel time competitive for distances up to 800 miles, while its short takeoff and landing capability—just 1,500 feet for takeoff and 1,000 feet for landing—open up hundreds of smaller airports that jets or turboprops cannot access. This flexibility lets travelers land closer to their true destination, saving valuable time and turning even the most secluded getaways into accessible escapes. | The robust airframe and reliable engine deliver solid climb performance and a ceiling high enough to clear weather and terrain, ensuring safe, smooth journeys. For those seeking direct, private access to out-of-the-way locations, the Stationair’s performance is unmatched in its class.

Step aboard the Stationair and you’ll discover a surprisingly spacious, well-appointed cabin for a piston aircraft, designed to comfortably seat five to six passengers. The high-wing configuration ensures excellent visibility, while large windows flood the interior with natural light. | The seating layout is flexible, with removable or fold-down seats that can accommodate a mix of passengers and cargo, including skis, golf clubs, or outdoor gear. Leather upholstery and modern finishes offer a refined yet practical environment, while thoughtful details such as easily accessible baggage space and effective cabin ventilation ensure comfort throughout the flight. | The quiet, vibration-dampened cabin allows for easy conversation and productivity, whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure. For those seeking a truly tailored travel experience, the Stationair transforms regional journeys into a seamless, enjoyable part of any adventure.




While the Stationair is not intended for long-haul or high-capacity routes, it shines for travelers looking for direct access to remote destinations, regional airports, and hard-to-reach locations where commercial services are limited. For private groups, families, or executives who prioritize flexibility, efficiency, and the ability to land close to their final destination, the Stationair offers unbeatable value and versatility in the light aircraft segment.


The Cessna Stationair typically seats five adults with an option for a sixth, arranged in a flexible seating configuration to maximize comfort and utility. The cabin design supports both all-passenger and mixed passenger-cargo missions, making it ideal for families, executives, or small groups traveling together.




Yes. The Stationair features a spacious, light-filled cabin with up to six seats, generous baggage capacity, and a high-wing design that allows for easy movement and excellent visibility. The aircraft’s rear doors and accessible luggage area make loading and unloading quick and convenient.

For regional journeys under 800 miles, the Stationair covers most city pairs in a single flight. Its efficient fuel burn and range allow for non-stop trips across states or provinces, though for longer or international routes, a fuel stop or larger aircraft may be required.
