Cessna Pressurized 210

摘要

In the world of step-up Cessna aircraft, 210 Centurions are indeed complex singles. But with added pressurization, the P210 is another layer of complexity both in the air and on the shop floor. That means bringing your A-game to every flight and focused preventive maintenance to each annual inspection. But when it all comes together, the P210 is a highly capable go-places traveler with a generous cabin, plus it has decent cruise and climb performance-but get an insurance quote and do a thorough prepurchase evaluation before bringing one home. This was an interesting concept back in the day, when the pressurized model P210N was introduced in 1978 and powered by a 310-HP turbocharged Continental TSIO-520P. Initially, the P210 was a hit and Cessna sold nearly 400 of them in the first couple of years. But the P210 wasn't exactly a dean-sheet fresh design. Even at a glance you'll see the airplane was a derivative of nearly two decades of C210 Centurions. The airframe was vintage 1960s and the engine was nothing new and even the pressurization system had been lifted from the pressurized 337 Skymaster. But Cessna improved on a solid design.
