Description

Jesse Adams of Mason Amelia showcases a true X/C MONSTER – N210PP, a Cessna P210 “Silver Eagle.” Imagine pressurized comfort, turbine reliability, and 200+ KTAS on every flight, all for Cirrus money… Do your homework on Silver Eagles. There is plenty of hot air in the listings, and not the bleed air kind. The real value is in the logbooks, and the money is in the details. N210PP is a no excuses example owned and operated by a meticulous pilot who serves as Vice President of the Silver Eagle Owners & Pilots Association. His careful operating practices and pride of ownership are evident throughout the aircraft and the type community. N210PP features a Garmin G500 TXi with Synthetic Vision, dual Garmin GTN 750 Xi units, STEC 3100 Digital Autopilot, EI MVP 50T Engine Monitor, Air Conditioning, Full De-Ice capability, and a mean MT Five Blade Composite Propeller, all complemented by excellent paint and a clean, well maintained interior. Over this tenure of ownership, substantial investments have been made in the engine, avionics, and maintenance. Major components that typically require overhaul or attention have already been addressed, positioning the next owner for lower operating costs and reduced downtime. For the pilot who wants the “silver” lining in turbine ownership, N210PP awaits. Call or text Jesse Adams for a first-hand account of this impressive aircraft.
