Cessna 210 Pressurized Centurion for Sale — The P210 Experience
The Cessna P210 Pressurized Centurion is the most ambitious single-engine piston aircraft Cessna ever produced — combining the proven 210 Centurion airframe with a pressurized cabin that allows cruise altitudes above 23,000 feet in the comfort of a 10,000-foot equivalent cabin environment. When Cessna introduced the P210 in 1978, it was the only production single-engine piston aircraft in the world offering pressurization — a distinction that attracted buyers who wanted the operational benefits of flying above weather in a single-engine aircraft without the complexity and cost of a turboprop or twin.
P210 Technical Details
The P210N is powered by the Continental TSIO-520-CE turbocharged engine producing 310 horsepower, providing the performance needed to reach and maintain the altitudes where pressurization delivers its greatest operational benefit. The pressurization system maintains a 10,000-foot cabin equivalent at the aircraft's maximum operating altitude of 23,000 feet — allowing occupants to fly comfortably without supplemental oxygen and above the majority of weather that plagues unpressurized aircraft operating at lower altitudes. The P210R variant introduced increased gross weight and improved performance. Engine care is critical — the TSIO-520's turbocharged operation demands careful management, particularly during the critical cooling phase after high-power flight segments.
