The 210 is then compared and contrasted with Bonanzas, Mooneys, and other Cessna aircraft. In the interest of accident prevention, an entire chapter is devoted to explaining the fuel system, landing gear, and other crucial safety aspects that every 210 owner should know. A briefing on what kind of experience and ratings you need to get insured, and a detailed look at what sort of premiums to expect is also included. Other material in the Cessna 210 Buyers Guide includes frequently asked questions and answers about the 210, model changes by year, including performance criteria, operating costs, modifications, airworthiness directives as well as a tabulation of the starting and ending serial numbers of each model year.
