What does it actually cost to buy and own a Cessna 210? In this short video we break down the Cost to Own Cessna 210 and let you know exactly what your get for your money. And how much of your money it will take.

In addition to annual costs, we cover the cost per hour and cost per mile to operate. We also cover key performance stats so you know what you're paying for.

Costs of airplane ownership vary widely from owner to owner. This video takes an average of the various expenses from existing owners and boils them down to simple to digest numbers. Your ownership experiences will be unique.

The big cheese indeed. Nothing like a Swiss made 210, costs a lot of cheddar tho.

Have flown hundreds of hours in c210s. Great machine. Flown in hard ifr, cruised above18, 000, landed on 2, 000ft runways. Six people with no problem. Also flew the cover airplane in aopa magazine back in the 70s. N2110S. Full coupled ap and flight director. A real dream to fly.

Very glad you make these videos. I watched the C177 video the other day and I was so surprised how PRETTY that plane is. It never occurred to me that there would be high wing singles with retractable gear and they look SO DAMN GOOD, imo they look way better than low wing singles and twins and this one looks just as good, maybe even better than the C177. Thank you very much for helping me discover these things they have instantly became my favourite looking small civil aviation planes :)

I was in a partnership in a '76 T210 for a while. It was running us about $200/hr to fly. Parts are hard to come by and it was down a fair amount (wing spar inspection, new panel, etc. etc.). I finally got out of it and am building a plane that's pretty close to the same airspeed, but doesn't carry as much which is fine. In nearly 15 years of flying I've needed more than 4 seats (me and 3 others) less than 5 times, so the 210 was just more airplane than I really needed anyway.

I always remember this as being Richard Collin's plane from Flying Magazine back in the '90s.
He was the most technical, serious of the Flying Magazine writers and that plane really suited him.

I fell in love with the 210 when I first pulled the yoke back for rotation (from the right seat). It felt as if it had been poured in concrete in comparison to anything I'd touched before.
The thing flew like on rails.
Never got to owning one, haven't generated the amount of cash to feed a travel-monster of that magnitude

I don't fly and may never... Your presentation of these planes and facts is mesmerizing. I see one of your videos, I click it...

[msteele]

Id love to see a cost comparison amongst competing models...

Please do NOT do a 206 on floats. Every time you do an airframe I think I might want to own you bring up excellent points as to why not.

2:20 "Which one of the kids to leave behind" Is that speaking from experience? XD

[bernardanderson]

The best one I’ve flown and the fastest model and year was the 1977 210 and IO-520 was a screamer especially in cooler temperature and the hours I’ve logged in Turbo and the P210 models when fuel prices were affordable to take long flights because of this flying isn’t cheap but it sure is fun during my lifetime of aviation to getting back into one again

[chuckgibbons]

I flew 210’s turbo and normal for a couple thousand hours! Absolutely the best single engine aircraft out there! Never had a major maintenance problem in all that time. The non-turbo version had a Robertson stol package that really enhanced the all around performance!

I love the 210. I flew on an L model. I like how the gear doors look.

[saiajin]

Thanks. I always leave with a grin after watching your vids even though I can't afford any of these airplanes. It's cool to drool, hehe.

Great video as always. Ever considered doing a price to own on a Waco YMF-5? We got a lot of them where I'm from, and me and some pilot buddy's are considering becoming part owners on one. Cheers

[davingilsdorf]

Love the videos, keep up the great work!

[SL]

Your videos always make me smile :).. could you do one on the Twin Otter? Twotter with floats? Skis? etc :) TY

[Allegan]

I have a lot of hours in C210 L & N models, great family plane and excellent IFR platform!

[mrschellfisch]

„…which one of your kids to leave behind“ cracked me up 😂

1982 210N fully tricked out glass avionics refit, IFR, looks like an interior refresh, original fading paint but in decent shape, 967 HSMOH, 2960 TT. Wait for grand with a hundred bucks change back. There's a 1978 NM Turbo model I'd opt for though - despite higher TT hours (but only 220 HSMOH) - has very substantial avionics refit and a 2014 ext paint and interior refresh that all looks great - $325, 000 - that sounds like a serious seller and a better value.
