About the Cessna 210M

The Cessna 210M Centurion is a six-seat, single-engine, retractable-gear piston aircraft, one of the later variants of the popular 210 series. Powered by a Continental IO-520 engine burning approximately 14 gallons per hour, the 210M features a cantilever wing and three-blade propeller that provide improved performance and a cleaner appearance.

Variable hourly costs average around $170, with annual fixed costs near $25,000. The Centurion is known for its exceptional useful load and spacious cabin that can carry six adults with full baggage, making it one of the most capable single-engine piston aircraft for family and business travel.

The Cessna 210M appeals to experienced pilots who need to carry full loads over meaningful distances. Its retractable gear, powerful engine, and generous cabin make it a practical cross-country machine for pilots who have outgrown four-seat aircraft.

Cessna 210M Price & Cost

Cessna 210M Price Guide

Key price factors: engine time to overhaul, year and airframe hours, avionics, damage history and logbook completeness — see the buying guide below for the full pre-purchase checklist.

Cessna 210M Cost of Ownership estimate
Fuel (14.0 GPH × $6.20, 100 hrs)$8,680/yr
Annual Fixed (hangar, insurance, annual)$25,000/yr
Variable (per hour)$170/hr
Engine Overhaul (every 1,700 hrs)$38,000
Estimates at 100 flight hours/year. Actual costs vary by usage, location and insurance.

Buying a Used Cessna 210M

Every Cessna 210M faces a mandatory 1,700-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due — a fresh-overhaul airframe can be worth a large share of the $38,000 overhaul cost more than one approaching its limit.

What to check before buying

  • Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 1,700-hour limit; this dominates resale value more than total time.
  • Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records; missing logs cut value and complicate financing.
  • Damage history — any prior accident, hard landing or blade strike; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
  • Avionics — a glass panel vs steam gauges materially changes price.
  • Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
