Engine and propeller

The library lists a Continental IO-520-L at 325 hp with a McCauley E2A34C73/90AT-8 propeller. The 1972 handbook covering the 210L rates 300 BHP at 2850 RPM for 5 minutes and 285 BHP at 2700 RPM continuous. The type acceptance report lists TSIO-520-H for the T210L. Check the engine data plate and logbooks to confirm which engine is fitted.

Airframe and loading

Wingspan is 36.75 ft, length 28.15 ft and height 9.42 ft. Basic empty weight is 2150 lbs against a 3800 lb maximum takeoff weight, with 90 gal of fuel and a 200 lb baggage allowance. The type acceptance report shows up to 6 seats. Work out useful load from the actual aircraft's weighed empty weight.

Records to request

Ask for proof of the SEL-57-06 carry-thru spar eddy current inspection (mandatory; covers 210L and T210L). SEB92-27 vented fuel caps were mandatory within 400 hours or 12 months, and external turbo placards are to be removed. If a Stratus oil filter adapter is fitted, ask about SB-001 Rev B.

Summary written by AI from the source document. Check the original before relying on it. See which parts of Sprinkle are written by AI.

Safety notes

  • The carry-thru spar can corrode and crack, risking wing separation. The inspection is due over 1,500 flight hours (severe use) or 4,000 (typical). Unknown history counts as severe.
  • Take fuel samples from every drain at each preflight and check the fuel vents. Blocked vents or wrong or contaminated fuel can cause engine stoppage in flight.
  • If a Stratus oil filter adapter is fitted, inspect for fiber gaskets, leaks or looseness. Oil loss can lead to partial or complete loss of engine power.
