Cessna 210 Gear Up Landing
October 23, 2009
This Centurion had a nose gear failure in the Northern territory of Australia. The pilot makes a “textbook” landing on the dirt strip. Note the door is “cracked” as the plane skims past on its main gear only.

Got something to say?
I have always been …
I have always been taught to keep power in on gear up landings, especially on unprepared strips. What would happen if you shut the engine down and then an unexpected bur, rock or tree stump was right in the middle of the strip? no go around and instead of a new prop, and relatively minor repairs, you run the risk of exposed fuel tanks, fire, and untimately death. In my opinion, this pilot did a fantastic job. However, if at a large airport, and had runway to play with, I would shut down.
ahh a couple of …
ahh a couple of days in the shop and she will be right mate.and 100 grand as well for the new prop and bulk strip.
Hell yes is will …
yes is will stop the prop if you slow it down enough. I’ve done it more than once. If it was spinning, regardless if the engine was under power, it needs to be torn down.
Great job mate!
Great job mate!
Yes the prop will …
Yes the prop will stop in the flare at about 60 knots. It is a high compression engine. I had done it just to practice.
i fly a c210 too, …
i fly a c210 too, 210 f 68, the flare wasn’t bad…but i would turn the engine at minum and then, when sure on the runway, cut it off, turn it in the best position not to touch the ground(by giving small turns ignition).
if the propeller would not stop, full propeller to make max drag and stop it
Fucking nerdies on …
nerdies on youtube in a flame fight once again PLACE BETS>>>NOW!!
actually it will, …
actually it will, the engine was running on the landing roll, the prop only pinwheels while the engine is on, it takes alot of force to move the prop
Look closely guys, …
Look closely guys, The prop is in great shape after it stops so was clearly shut down, it was obviously just windmilling and the noise is just prop tip noise. shutting down the engine on a single wont stop the prop, duh.
not necesarily …
not necesarily correct if the prop would have been turned off and they were in the right position the prop could have been salvaged
Great …
Great landing.Engine off, engine on… what’s the diff?It’s gonna have to be overhauled anyway.That’s what insurance is for.
Alright, I’ll take …
Alright, I’ll take your word for it since I’m really more of a Mooniac than a Cessna nut. I guess cessna probabolly redesigned the wing for more cruise speed and soft ride than for field performance like I’ve heard the 206 was optomized for..
I don’t mean to be …
I don’t mean to be an here but i”ve worked on both aircraft and there are huge differences structurally between them. they have a different wing span different flaps and ailerons and that’s just for starters. The 206 and 210 look similar at first glance but they are pretty different
Let’s get this …
Let’s get this straight. There is no such thing as a fixed gear 210 and no such thing as a retract 206. They’re the same airplane except for the gear and the purpose of the airplane. And of course for the later one’s the window design and absent struts.
” FIX IT” he said …
” FIX IT” he said at the end
There is no need …
There is no need for the fan to be going. The aircraft will still fly with it off, save that donk.
Yeah Mixture cut …
Yeah Mixture cut off but still its a 3 bladed prop. wouldn’t have worked to save the prop. would have helped the engine out a bit… but where I’m from engine would need an over haul. even if you hit a bird they make you overhaul now.
Check this out …
Check this out Cessna 210B and re-check your very first statement
Check this out C210B
Check this out C210B
The older 210 are …
The older 210 are fixed gears but most people think they are 206… well now you know.
Text book and well …
Text book and well done but, non the less the props could have been saved… as soon as the main touched, mixture cut off. Well done, you can always get new pros and acc but not a life, unless you get divorced, lol.
There were no 210’s …
There were no 210’s with fixed gear. I know that the early 210’s has struts and main gear struts like the 206’s, but all of the 210’s have retractable gear!!!!
No they are not the …
No they are not the very first 210 had the wing strut just like the 206, and i was actually a re-desing from the 182, the C206 was introduced in 1962 so that makes the Cessna 206 the copy of the 210 with fixed gear
They’re some 206’s …
They’re some 206’s with retract gear though. Not all of the models were fixed. It was just like the 172, both fixed and retractable gear!!
All Cessna 210 …
All Cessna 210 models had retractable gear. I think you were possibly thinking of another Cessna family aircraft with fixed gear!
