A Cessna P210N Centurion

What follows is a new one for me... an American-registered Cessna P210N pressurised Centurion.

This aircraft, registration N526CH, has what appears to be a turbine engine, including a "JET A-1" decal on the right hand ride just in front of the registration. The FAA website states that this aircraft has a reciprocating engine... I had thought there was a conversion of the 210P model that had the turbine, maybe there are other conversions also? Does anyone have any more information?

    It's a Silver Eagle conversion Rolls Royce 450shp ( From memory the first was a Garret at 250shp. There are others also.

    Maybe even a Pratt & Whitney 750shp

    Thanks Nick. Odd then that the FAA site still refers to a reciprocating engine... (and a Continental at that) :-)

    Cheers,

    I think they keep original specs and the conversion only done as AD so be in plane records rather than FAA

    Pressurized, powerful engine, retractable gear and what looks like a (weather?) radar. That's one capable looking airframe!

    Still based in Ardmore. 1,600fpm on climb, more if you don't need to look outside. Will do 205kt at FL180 all day long on 23-25 GPH. That means 4.5 hours with IFR reserves. Typical Cessna high wing handling and landing characteristics. It will be back next week, come and say hello.
