Cessna T207
Everything here is true of every aircraft of the type, not of any one aircraft.
The T207 is the first-generation 207 with a turbocharged Continental TSIO-520-G rated at 300 hp for takeoff and 285 continuous, sharing the 3,800-lb gross weight, seven seats and 54/73-gallon tanks of the normally aspirated 207. AOPA quotes it at about 130 knots low down and near 150 knots up high at 75% power on 16–17 gph, with a 26,000-ft ceiling the airframe can use only with oxygen aboard.
This is the rarest of the four and the one with the least data behind it: Cessna built it alongside the 207 for the same eight model years, no separate handbook figures could be found for it, and no example was advertised for sale in the US at the time of writing, so a buyer is pricing against the T207A market with no comparables. What the turbo gives is altitude performance over terrain and in heat; what it costs is a 1,400-hour TBO instead of 1,700, a turbocharger, wastegate and exhaust system that run hot in a cowl designed for a cooler engine, and 23–30 gph at full throttle. The loading limits are the 207's — full seats and full tanks are mutually exclusive — and so are the nose-heavy handling, the tail-corrosion and seat-rail ADs, and the thin parts supply. Expect a high-performance endorsement, oxygen if you intend to use the turbo, and an airframe that was somebody's workhorse first.

Estimated cost to own
An estimate, not a quote. Change the inputs to match how you would fly it. Defaults are for a single-engine piston, 5 or more seats.
| Maintenance reserve | hourly | not counted | |
| Insurance | fixed | $2,800/yr | |
| Annual inspection | fixed | $2,200/yr | |
| Hangar | fixed | $6,000/yr | |
| Rental rate, wet | for comparison |
Not in the totals: Maintenance reserve. We have no reliable default for this line; enter your figure to include it.
No fuel burn is on record for this model, so fuel is not included.
No TBO or overhaul cost is on record for this model, so the engine reserve is not included.
How these estimates are built. Fuel = this model's typical burn x the national average price from AirNav's Fuel Price Report (100LL $7.41, Jet A $7.66 per gallon, 5 Oct 2026; your airport may differ by $2 or more). Engine reserve = typical overhaul cost / TBO for this engine. The remaining lines are class-level defaults, not quotes for this aircraft: annual inspection is the base inspection fee (findings are counted in the per-hour maintenance line); insurance assumes an instrument-rated owner with time in type and a $1M liability limit - less experienced pilots commonly pay 1.5-2x; hangar and tie-down are national mid-tier figures, with rural and metro options; the rental rate is a 2026 flight-school rate for a comparable aircraft, including fuel. Twin and turboprop maintenance defaults are estimates, not published figures. Sources: AirNav, BWI Aviation Insurance (2019-2026), Flying (May 2026), Savvy Aviation, American Flight Schools, published airport rate sheets. Every default is editable - change any number to match your situation. Depreciation, taxes, financing and major upgrades are not included. Depreciation is not included. An estimate, not a quote.

- Each of the five categories places the model within its peer class, from 0 (the worst of the class) to 10 (the best): a position among comparable models, not a grade. The overall score is the sum of the categories shown that are scored, out of 10 for each (50 when all five are); it is given only when at least 4 of the five are scored, and it can be set against another model's only when both are in the same peer class and scored on the same categories. When accident record and severity cannot be scored because the model has too few records, the other three give a partial score out of 30, labelled as such; it is never set against a full score.
