Think back to when you learnt to fly before the high and mighty pfft it’s just an aeroplane (yes I know it is).
There are a few things I remember from waaaayyyyy back. The first was when a C401 rocked up at the flying school and we all thought it was a space shuttle. A while later jumped in a C210 and the same wow what a machine.
No they are not unsafe but that’s only if you treat em right, pretty much like any aircraft. I fly a small private jet at the moment that demands the same kinda respect, I may have a ****e ton of hours but still, respect the jet!
Now talk about a fast 210, ya ever fly one with the IO550 installed!
As for replacements, as has been stated there are not really any.
The 210 be it on tourist ops, black fella runs or full of cargo, what a beast…
Newbies follow the advice of Stall and Wawa and then talk to your peers who still fly the beast.
