This comprehensive guidebook is designed for pilots flying the Cessna 210. It serves as both a companion to the pilot's operating handbook and a reference manual for improving airmanship. Drawing from a range of official manuals and the author's own experience as an instructor and charter pilot, it offers straightforward explanations accompanied by helpful visuals. The section on flight operations covers standard practices for normal, abnormal, and emergency situations, as well as performance planning and sample calculations. This highly regarded resource is commonly used for commercial operator induction or transition training on the C210.
The General topics include:
Introduction To The C-210
Aircraft Technical Information
Airframe
Flight Controls
Engine and Controls
Fuel System
Electrical System
Flight Instruments and Systems
Preflight Inspection
Normal Procedures
Abnormal and Emergency Procedures

About the Author Danielle Bruckert and Oleg Roud are professional pilots, instructors and examiners on the Cessna series of aircraft they write about. They now both fly for airlines, however both remain active in general aviation, providing instruction and check flights on light aircraft. Oleg began flying fighter and transport jets in the Former Soviet military, immigrating to Southern Africa after the collapse, to fly charter operations mainly on the Cessna aircraft, and airline operations on the Beech 1900 and Embraer 135. Danielle began flight training in New Zealand, and left for Africa to gain experience in charter operations on Cessna singles and twins, and later joined the national airline in Namibia, flying the Beech 1900 and Boeing 737. Their motivation to write the books was to improve training and thus operating standards in the general aviation sector (the non-airline civil aviation sector), especially for light aircraft in private and charter operations. Training has been identified by the FAA, and other civil aviation authorities, as a major cause of light aircraft accidents, Oleg and Danielle hope the Cessna Training Manual series will help to improve training standards by improving the information available for pilots. Oleg and Danielle based the Cessna Training Manuals format on the progression of a typical training syllabus and information normally provided for training on larger aircraft, where there is stricter control over standards.
Reader Review I have been a CFI for 30+ years. I like to know the details of airplanes I fly. The Pilot Manual for my 1975 T210 is woefully inadequate. The manuals from 1976 forward follow the then new GAMA POH format. The '75 manual doesn't have some of the key sections: limitations, placards, etc. Neither 75 nor subsequent manuals have much in the way of system details. Having gone through transition and refresher courses for my Cessna 414 at Flight Safety International, I became accustomed to thoroughly understanding the systems from a pilot's perspective. This book is much closer to the FSI way of doing things. It starts with a detailed walk-around of the airplane. Each major system is described in detail. This would be a must-have book should you plan to take your Commercial Pilot Checkride in a 210. If you master the content, the Systems part of the oral will be simple. For all 210 drivers, this information would provide a great basis for sorting out in-flight anomalies. ….Dan M. Beadle
It's the standard pilot log for a reason. Many different flight time categories with just enough space for remarks. As a helicopter pilot, it would be nice if the endorsements section wasn't fixed-wing focused; but I get that there are a lot fewer helicopter pilots out there, so I won't dock any stars for that. This is my third ASA-SP-57 logbook at this point, and I intend to keep getting more of them in the future.
This is nearly identical to my first pilot logbook, but with a new smooth matte black cover. This logbook checks all the boxes from student pilot through Commercial. It might just be the only logbook you’ll ever need. Fly safe!
