As per JTs point that the certification standard of Va needs to be understood, the 210’s always tricky with Va as one of the few aircraft I can recall which specify Va as a function of aircraft weight. From distant and fuzzy memory it ranges between 95-115KIAS…. Happy to be corrected on the numbers.
Earlier, someone asked what I thought might replace the 210 after I had voiced the observation of its lengthy teeth. And, I have no idea but surely we can do better.
The issue is not a 40 year old privately used 210 with a couple of thousand gentle hours. Instead, the worry are those with 12,000+ hours of hard charter in the top end. just because they’re cheap to buy and operate is not a valid reason.
Separately, is it only in Oz that 210s have a record of peeling wings? I’ve not heard of it anywhere else.
