If you ever wanted to fly over the weather or at higher altitudes without the worry of having enough oxygen, then you need a pressurized airplane. An aircraft that is pressurized gives the peace of mind of being able to fly safe at higher altitudes, which also in turn gives your better performance in speed and range of the aircraft.
Several aircraft manufacturers, mainly your legacy manufacturers like Cessna, Mooney and Piper have long produced civilian airplanes with pressurized cabin. Now we get to look at some of the most affordable ones; affordable by aviation standards.
Cessna P210 Centurion - Cessna 210 is a single piston engine, six-seat, high-performance, high-wing aircraft. Cessna produced these airplanes close to 30 years, from 1957 - 1986. When you follow the Cessna models, form the 150, to 172, to 182. The 210 comes last as the big brother of all, and for good reason.
Engine: Continental IO 520 (300HP)
Range: 1000 miles
Speed: 145 kt
Price: $200,000
Mooney M22 Mustang - The M22 Mustang was Mooney's first attempt to produce a pressurized single engine aircraft. The M22 is five-seat pressurized piston engine aircraft that has a wider and longer fuselage than the M20E Super or the early models.
Engine: 310 HP
Speed: 186 kt
Range: 1400 miles
Price: $200k used
Beechcraft Baron 58P- Coming out of the Baron twin engine lineup, Beechcraft introduced the 58P models in 1976 and produced them all through 1985. The 58P comes with a Pressurized cabin and is powered by two Continental TSIO-520-L turbocharged piston engines.
Engine: 325HP
Speed: 232 kt
Range: 1229 miles
Price: $250k used
Lancair IVP - Lancair needs no formal introduction. Being one of the first and most recognized name in experimental aircraft. All Lancairs are really built to go fast. With speed also comes pilot skill and responsibility of course. The Lancair IVP is one of the fastest Lancairs ever built. Certainly the fastest airplane in its class at 250 kts. One of the best part about this plane though is the fact that it has a pressurized cabin and can fly over 20,000 feet.
Engine: Continental IO 550 - Twin turbo (350 hp)
Range: Up to 1250 miles
Speed: 250 kt
Useful load: 1350 lbs
Price: $350k - $400k
Piper Malibu Mirage - In Piper's attempt to produce a pressurized aircraft that will compete with the Cessna 210 centurion, came the Malibu. Other than the fact that it could seat 6 people and cruise at over 200 knots, the Malibu’s primary attraction was, pressurization and the fact that it did virtually everything a twin could do under normal circumstances without the expense, complexity, and asymmetric control considerations of an extra engine.
Engine: 310 HP
Speed: 187 kt
Range: 1400 miles
Price: $450k used

Love your recaps and your informative tutorial videos

[@EJWash57]

Only the Cessna P-210N ('78-'83) and the P-210R ('85-'86) were pressurized. And, the -210s are six-seaters. Actually, the model evolved out of the C-206. The Beech Baron 58P is the only pressurized Baron. Admittedly, I have zero flight hours above FL180 in a light single or twin-engine pressurized aircraft. If I were flying in the flight levels even in a pressurized aircraft, you can bet that I'd have supplemental oxygen with me, and at the ready.

[@Ulbre]

Actually, other way around, the 206 (205/206/207) were developed from the 210. Spot on the rest though.

[@josephc.9520]

Yes and the 210 came from the 182, that's it

[@EJWash57]

@@Ulbre I left out the 205/207 because the 206 has more recognition, and is still highly sought after.

[@kielydj]

And a typical 210 will do 160kts plus not 140/145

[@skypilotbobby]

You missed the Aerostar 601P, which can be gotten reasonably for around $150k. Fully pressurized and a ton of them built and still flying. :)

[@billmoran3812]

The Cessna 210 are not all pressurized. The P210 is. It is also heavier, a bit slower and slightly less range than the non pressurized versions. It’s easy to spot a P210 because they have windows with rounded corners vs the square corners on the non turbo version.

[@cardoncarl]

Yep... And the engine is a TIO, not a IO...

[@olenfersoi8887]

Don't forget about the pressurized 337 which has the advantage of dual inline engines. Not too common, but they are out there. And, the pressurized cabin gives the advantage of a quieter flight. SEE my more recent comments on these planes.

[@DanFrederiksen]

Lancair IV-P outclasses everything, cruise at 539km/h, about the same as Cirrus Visionjet but the interesting thing is, it can be so much better yet. It's a one ton bird and it's not a twin jet. Nor does it have a lav. Imagine cutting the weight to 250kg, 4 seats, 1 lav (one time inserts and wet wipes) and 2 small turbofan jets. Increase the speed to 750km/h yet still better fuel economy than a cirrus SR22. Lower new price than a Cessna 172. Less than half of a Cirrus SR22. Runway to runway autopilot and ceiling at FL450. A light speedwalker. Probably couldn't reach hawaii but transatlantic via greenland.

One is for learning in but I plan on keeping it long term to fly occasionally to keep my skills sharp, for shorter trips, and smaller airports. The second plane will depend on mission use which is something I'm still learning about but I'm leaning towards a Phenom 300 or a CJ3 atm.

Hi! I was think to buy a Cessna 175 or 172 for to have mobility with my 8 cats. We are at Brazil and I hope , yet this year, move us to EUA, or Canada or Europe. But, the noise is to much. In fact, the prices now are to much more expensive, was 17.000 and now 30-50-100k USD! The pressurizers ones are the Unic way to my pet family. But I can't affort that so fast, and don't want to compromise on it so much money. So, we need to rent an aircraft like that Cessna 210. And until now, I couldn't to found a way for to do that. All the airplane marketplace , pilots schools, even for the 172 piston types, didn't give to me a positive ensure. So, where to rent that? Affordable?

[@eagle2019]

Mike, you've missed a whole host of other better airplanes for less than a million. The Cessna 414, 414A, the Cessna 421, 421A, 421B and 421C and finally the Mitsubishi MU2 series which can also be had for less than a million.

[@ADAMREES-GRITGYM]

Will these have a greater range?

[@SGTMARSHALL1]

Range is usually relevant to design, payload and performance, if your preference is range without payload the Risen is a single engine 2 seater with double the range of those pressurized models. As always do your own research and have a checklist of what you want and what you actually need. You may need to carry more people but can fly multiple legs for refuelling eliminating the need for range. The choice is always personal

[@ADAMREES-GRITGYM]

@@SGTMARSHALL1 much appreciated! Thank you for taking the time.

[@SGTMARSHALL1]

@@ADAMREES-GRITGYM no worries, if you plan on purchasing any plane that appears like a bargain look at the engine hours and the hours for overhaul, they maybe close to a major and usually costly maintenance overhaul so finding a local expert to inspect it is always recommended. Design is an important factor to flight characteristics such as the Velocity Twin, it's reasonable in price passenger capacity is also responsible and performance is great for unpressurized but it is short with a wide wingspan so it is more stable sideways than forward flight, the Diamond DA42 is also responsible performance, efficient, has passenger capacity with a longer fuselage by about 10 ft so the ride quality will be more smooth like a long wheelbase car but you pay extra for comfort and quality. Always look at the planes glide ratio in the event of power failure and if it is a single engine a ballistic recovery parachute would be advisable.

[@LowandFast357]

Pretty questionable info on this video Mike. On the 210's, you really needed to focus on the P210. The one you highlighted and discussed was a 210, totally not pressurized at all. The Mooney Mustang is also a poor choice. The worst on this list. Only something like 30 of those were ever produced, and most pilots will never see one in their lifetime. Also, the Malibu Mirage and Meridian were left off the list. I know the M350 is a predecessor along the M500/600, but the Malibu 310P is the least popular of the bunch, the Mirage and Meridian being the most. Also the Propjet would have been worth mentioning. You probably could have mentioned the twin Cessna line starting from the 340 and up to the 421C. There are more of those flying around than P210's and 58P's combined. You should do a little more research for these videos. Not impressed.
