Anyone know where I might be able to find a Cessna 210 POH? Preferably C210 L model or later on..
Perhaps a online copy or if someone has a copy which can be emailed to me?

Please!

Thanks

Found this site in less than a minute via a google search. I thought Gen Y were computer savvy.

This site has most Cessna manuals such as the C210, plus other GA aircraft manuals. It also has B737, Ejet and B1900 manuals to name a few.

Cheers BPA, I did use the engine search on google for the C210 POH. Just ended up with a sample manual.

Thanks anyway!

I've found it best to keep the search simple ie Pilot Operating Handbook or Flight Manuals.

The Red Sky site is full of great free stuff.

I can now tell you, with over 200hrs on the C207, that yes it is possible, apparently there is even a variant with 8seats, I have never seen one and wonder if maybe its the turbine one thats out there. Mind you, I've had times where I can barely squeeze on 4 elephant sized passengers and myself!!

It really all depends on your Empty Wt, Passenger Wts, Runway Length/Type and the size of your balls...

Hahaha, i'm in awe of your sarcasm KingRB. I didn't mean it to sound like heaps of experience on it :P Have you flown the Turbo and the N/A? How did you find they compared?

I flew both, yeah I preferred the NA. Thinking about it now some of the "late model" NA versions I flew may have had extra 2 seats as well, but struggling to remember. Either way, they were only kids seats or for midgets. Weight and balance aside there was fark all leg room for an adult to even contemplate sitting in them.

Gotta love the "Gimp Seat"!! I always imagined it wouldn't have been too much effort to just add an extra seat next to the rearmost one, or some kind of benchseating, man it'd be hard as hell to get it within CofG though, unless you were carrying midgets around from circus to circus!!

HAHAHA... "Late Model", interesting term to use in regards to 207's Why did you prefer the N/As to the Turbo? I always kind of figured the Turbo would weigh a bit more and not really get much extra speed, so unless you were doing long legs, operating off high elevations and/or skydiving they were pretty useless?

Also would be keen to meet someone who has flown the Turbine ones... they look like a banana and I suspect fly like one as well!!

Correct, turbo had the higher BEW and same MTOW, so useful load was reduced. It didn't go any faster and as I didn't get to take advantage of its theoretical altitude capability the extra fuel consumption made it next to useless compared to the NA. Would have been interesting as a jump ship though.

Twas the seat I loved the most (besides the front) - very comfortable and leg room no problem. Maybe I'm a Gimp.

CofG a problem? One of the lasses used to carry a besser brick in the front locker.

kingRB, about what I expected, makes one wonder why on earth they were purchased for your operation at all!! Someone must have been giving them away!!

Brian Abraham, are you a midget by any chance? I fly 2 207s at the moment, one is quite nice and light and good on CofG, the other is about 30kg heavier and has a much more rear CofG due to some prior modifications that were never fully removed and usually necessitates the use of a 25L water container in the Nose locker to get it back within limits. That being said, get that nose locker fully loaded and your CofG problems go away pretty quickly!! Great for doing freight runs. Was just wondering why they never put a fuel tank up the front in that area, then thought it through and realised how ridiculous that would be.

And GG...I knew someone would bring up the C209 eventually!!

Brian Abraham, I upgraded from the brick to a water container too, didn't look quite as ridiculous in front of the pax and water is a lot more useful for survival in our neck of the woods!
I've flown both the NA and Turbo models and although the BEW is higher in the Turbo and fuel consumption more, they run a lot smoother, get off the ground quicker and run less nose high! They really only come into their own above about 8000' and if fuel is a problem they can be run LoP but expect a corresponding loss of speed! They earn their money during school holidays when all 8 seats can be filled with kiddies up the back but the use of sick bags increases dramatically! Also useful for coffin runs, they don't call it the 'sky coffin' for nothing!
Yes, Dougies 207 gets along pretty well! Almost always run LoP.

Yep pilotette. Doug demonstrated LoP on a flight or Two after I helped him reset the mousetraps in his Auster wings.

Hope to fly back to the Ark this winter some time, last winter was a gas as Dick Smith and Professor Ian Plimer were there at the same time running a science school for interested kids, as well as certain other "characters". Long live Doug and Marg!

Ahh, is "Dougies" 207 fitted with an IO550 by any chance? I've fitted a few coffins in the 207 as well, always seem to fit in just nicely with 2 seats left for pax!! Honestly, where we are, water is the last thing we need for most of our flights, we're going over enough of it as is!! Maybe we should change to a brick instead

One of ours has Gamijectors fitted and runs like a dream LoP, not a lot of speed lost either, far more efficient! Trying to get the rest of the fleet fitted with them as well, absolute bargain for their price.
