Performance and speeds

Handbook figures: 930 fpm climb at sea level, 27,000 ft service ceiling, 1300 ft takeoff ground roll and 2160 ft over a 50-ft obstacle. Stall is 67 KCAS flaps up and 58 KCAS flaps down. Vne is 203 KIAS, Vno 168 KIAS, Va 130 KIAS at 4000 lb. Gear operating speed is 165 KIAS.

Fuel, oil and engine care

Use 100LL (blue) or 100 (green) fuel. 3 gal of the 90 gal total is unusable. Take off and land on BOTH tanks. Oil capacity is 11 quarts total (10 in the sump). Use straight mineral oil for the first 50 hours or until consumption stabilizes, then ashless dispersant. Max cylinder head temperature is 460°F and max oil temperature is 240°F.

What to check when buying

Confirm the shimmy dampener part number and lot (104648, 110666 or 112303) against SB-14 and the log book entries. Check that the handbook is current: revision 1 dated 16 December 1981 is the latest listed. Verify installed equipment against the weight and balance. Icing is prohibited unless a known-icing package is fitted.

Safety notes

  • SB-14 is mandatory: remove the MC0743624-2 shimmy dampener on 210N/P210N/T210N (nose gear door interference) and return it to McFarlane.
  • With 1/4 tank or less, prolonged uncoordinated flight is prohibited on either left or right tank. Single-tank use is for level flight only.
  • Normal category only: no aerobatics or spins. Flight into known icing is prohibited unless the airplane has the known-icing equipment package.
