Spend Less with the Better-than-Ever Cessna 210 with 550 T.I. Conversion!
Why overhaul when you can experience much more for less?
Our company has developed one of the
most sought after and successful STC’s in
the industry enabling Cessna 210 & T210
owners to replace their IO-520 engine
with the modern Teledyne Continental
Motors (TCM) IO-550-P engine. The
resulting 550 Tuned Induction Engine
Conversion STC is approved to equip both
a normally aspirated and a turbocharged
“De Turbo” Cessna 210 and creates a
significant financial return through aircraft
operation savings and improved resale
value. The 550 T.I. conversion gives
operators more for less.
Cruise Faster, Climb Stronger, Save Fuel, Reduce Vibration Wear and Improve Comfort.
The 550 T.I. establishes a new definition of performance, safety, and comfort for pilots familiar with the standard Cessna 210 Centurion. The non-
turbocharged 550 T.I. can climb quicker and cruise faster than the stock Cessna 210. This allows the operator to fly faster and higher in smoother air or
above inclement weather. You can feel the horsepower on takeoff and see the fuel consumption difference. The climb rate doubles PLUS it comes with 500
hours increase on TBO and can be run at rich or lean peak. The SmoothRide Engine Mount System makes the aircraft much quieter and smoother both
inside and out. The days of window rattling vibrations wearing down the airframe and passengers are gone.
