About the Cessna 210

The Cessna 210 Centurion is the high-performance, retractable-gear six-seat single — fast (~180-200 kt), powerful (Continental IO-520 or IO-550), and available turbocharged (T210) and pressurised (P210, the only pressurised single-piston Cessna). Production ran 1957-1986. The 210 is the top of Cessna's piston-single line for speed and load — a serious cross-country aircraft and a common step-up from a 182.

Produced 1960–1986. Total produced: 9,240.
