Performance
Library figures: rate of climb 1000 fpm, service ceiling 20000 ft, max speed 150 kt. Takeoff over a 50 ft obstacle needs 1500 ft and landing over 50 ft needs 1200 ft. Max crosswind is 20 kt. Stall speed is 60 kt clean and 55 kt in landing configuration. Best glide is 70 kt.
Structural inspections to budget for
A 2014 Cessna service manual revision added an Airworthiness Limitations section. It requires eddy-current inspection of the wing main spar lower caps: initial at 8000 hours, repeating every 2000 hours, or 3500 hours and every 500 hours in severe environments. Most shops lack the equipment, so plan on a specialty shop. P210 windows have a 13000 hour life limit.
Figures differ by variant
Handbook data varies by variant. The Flight Tech Australia 210N checklist lists Vne 200 KIAS, Vy 96 KIAS, Vx 79 KIAS, takeoff power at 2850 RPM and engine oil 7.5 to 8.5 quarts. The library data lists Vne 175 kt. Always use the POH for the airframe you buy.

Safety notes
- SB-14 (mandatory): remove the McFarlane MC0743624-2 shimmy dampener, lots 104648, 110666, 112303; it interferes with the nose gear doors. No replacement offered.
- P210N, P210R, T210N, T210R: CASA AD/CESSNA 210/67 adds severe-icing warnings. Leave icing conditions promptly and do not use the autopilot if the ice cues appear.
- Confirm that the airframe has had the spar cap eddy-current inspection when due, and review the logbooks for it.
