The Cessna 210 Centurion is a high-wing, six-seat light utility aircraft with retractable-gear and powered by a single piston engine.
The Cessna Model 210 was first flown in January 1957 and entered the market in 1960. The Cessna 210 model was built by the Cessna
Aircraft Company in Wichita, Kansas, USA. Early Cessna 210 models were powered by the Continental IO-470 engine with 260 hp, and
later models are powered by the IO-520-L. The model was designed similarly to the Cessna 182 but includes retractable landing gear,
a swept tail, a new wing, and a hydraulic gear system. The fuselage was extended and made wider, while the flaps were extended to
allow for a decreased landing speed. 26 model variants were later manufactured. It is largely operated for flight training,
private operators, air taxi and commercial charter, and military. The Cessna 210 was produced until 1986, and a total of 575 were
built. The ICAO Aircraft Type Designator for the Cessna P210N Pressurised Centurion II is P210 |
In 1980, Cessna P210N Centurion II s/n 210-00535 was registered N46932 in the USA. In February 1985, registration N46932 was cancelled
as exported to Germany and the aircraft was registered D-ELPL. On 7 September 2025, the 1980-built Cessna P210N Pressurised Centurion
II D-ELPL was seen at Flugplatz Leer-Papenburg (EDWF). |
