Dick Strohmeyer, e-mail, 05.09.2012 04:26 How could the site leave out the 206 Model as the natural evolution of the 205? It is the workhorse in Alaska. I have one on Aerocet floats and it is a dream to fly on the water.

Bob Jourdan, e-mail, 22.08.2011 19:25 I owned a 205 back in the 1980s and flew it all over the western states. Performance was similar to that of the 182, but it would carry a much heavier load. With only two aboard, this was a great short field aircraft. We used it mostly as a two or four place which left lots of room for baggage. Of the seven aircraft we had owned, the 205 was by far the best. It was much more economical than the 206, but performed about the same.

Bill Stiver, e-mail, 11.12.2010 18:18 I have a cessna 205 and have also heard that they were not approved for floats as there was not enough rudder. It is however a great fixed gear airplane. i call it the Flying Station Wagon.

Charles Everhardt III, e-mail, 11.12.2008 20:54 I can't help but notice the floats, but after quizing all the major float manufacturers, all state that there are no model floats approved for this aircraft. Maybe it was under a field approval? Can anyone help me? Thanks.
