The Cessna P210, a pressurized version of the Cessna 210, was produced from 1978 to 1986, offering improved comfort and performance at higher altitudes. The P210 was designed to meet the demand for high-performance, single-engine aircraft capable of flying at higher altitudes with cabin pressurization. The Cessna P210 provided a combination of comfort, performance, and reliability, making it a popular choice among pilots who needed to fly at higher altitudes and in various weather conditions.
The Cessna P210, also known as the Pressurized Centurion, was produced from 1978 to 1986. This model was a pressurized version of the popular Cessna 210, designed to offer improved comfort and performance at higher altitudes. The standard non-pressurized Cessna 210—an upgrade from the Cessna 182—had a substantial production run from 1957 to 1986. The P210 was introduced for the 1978 model year and continued production until Cessna retired the model 210 type in 1986. During this period, 873 P210 aircraft were produced, with the P210R variant being the rarest and most advanced but only produced during 1985 and 1986.
Cessna designed and built the P210 to meet the demand for high-performance, single-engine aircraft capable of flying at higher altitudes with cabin pressurization. Consequently, P210 pilots and their passengers would typically fly at FL230 instead of the 8-12,000-foot altitude common to unpressurized models.
