Verify before you buy
Library data and the 1984 handbook disagree. The library lists a 3600 lb maximum takeoff weight, 65 gal fuel, IO-520-U engine and 700 NM range. The handbook lists 3800 lb, 90 gal total fuel, IO-520-L and 765 NM. Confirm the engine model, fuel capacity and weight limits against the airplane's own handbook. The owner is responsible for keeping it current.
Upgrades and avionics
The B&C standby alternator (STC SA00846WI) is approved for 210N serials 21062955 through 21064897, the 1979 to 1984 models. It is rated at 20 amps and was listed at $2300 for the alternator and regulator plus $550 for the install kit. The S-TEC System 55 autopilot supplement limits use to 165 KIAS or less and flaps of 10 degrees or less. The autopilot must be off for takeoff and landing, and it is Category I only.
Family context only
The registry covers the whole Cessna 210 family, including the 210N, T210N and P210N. Across the family it shows up to 204 kt cruise, 1240 NM range, 28000 ft ceiling and 6 passengers. These are family maximums and are not CESSNA 210N figures.

Safety notes
- ATSB: a CESSNA 210N landed gear-up at Broome in 2016 with no injuries. The pilot may have run the checklist only mentally and wore a noise-cancelling headset.
- Autopilot malfunction: take control, overpower if needed, disconnect, and do not re-engage until the fault is fixed. No go-around or missed approach on autopilot.
