Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.
Today’s Top Pick is a 1985 Cessna T210R Centurion.
Cessna’s brawny 210 Centurion has developed a devoted following on the used market because of its combination of speed and load-carrying capacity, and its familiar Cessna-style handling characteristics. During more than 25 years of production the airplane developed from little more than a retractable 182 Skylane to a roomy, powerful six-seater ideal for cross-country travel. Turbocharging gave the Centurion better performance at high altitudes and later, pressurization kept passengers comfortable during forays into the flight levels.

The aircraft for sale today is of special interest due to its rarity and top-of-the-line performance. The model had a longer wing than previous Centurions, along with other features that aided its overall performance and have made it a longtime standout in the used market.
This 1985 Cessna T210R Centurion has 5,700 hours on the airframe, 800 hours since overhaul on its 325 hp Continental TSIO 520CE engine, and 75 hours since overhaul on its MT MTV-9-D210-58 propeller. The aircraft is equipped with LED lighting, factory oxygen system, and Airwolf oil separator. Its paint and interior trim were replaced in 2021.
The IFR panel includes a Garmin GTN 750 GPS/nav/com, GNS 530W GPS/nav/com, JPI EDM 850 engine monitor, S-TEC 3100 autopilot with IAS climb, flight director and altitude preselect, dual GI275 instruments for the pilot, and a single GI275 for the copilot, Garmin GMA 340 audio panel, and GTX 345 transponder with ADS-B In and Out.
