In recent times, there has been a notable increase in the frequency of extreme weather events, resulting in damage caused by hailstorms, floods, and destructive winds. Consequently, the significance of air anti-hail defense has grown significantly. In my diploma thesis I will explore the Cessna TU206G aircraft, used at the Maribor Aviation Center for hail defense. For this type of aircraft, the calculation of mass and balance, take-off and landing performance, climb performance and calculation of time, fuel and distance used to the desired height, for two different masses were made: one in standard configuration and the other in an anti-hail setup. This thesis also examines additional equipment that plays a pivotal role in anti-hail operations. Furthermore, the cruising performance of the aircraft in various atmospheric conditions is analyzed, and a comparison between the landing and takeoff distances at the maximum allowed mass is made.
