Ask Centurion pilots about fuel stops on a hot day and many will bring up hot starts. Fuel-injected engines can be stubborn to restart when they’re heat-soaked after a short shutdown, and the technique that works is the one in the airplane’s handbook, not the one a friend swears by.
A Turbo 210 N checklist keeps the start sequence in front of you rather than in your memory, and it’s a good prompt to go back to the POH/AFM and read the exact wording for your airplane. Confirm the checklist matches your N model’s year and engine; the POH/AFM governs every procedure.
Quick answer: The CheckMate Cessna 210 N Turbo Checklist is a cockpit checklist for pilots who fly the turbocharged Cessna 210 N Centurion. It comes as CheckMate, CheckMate+ or CheckMate Pro in Standard (6.5″ x 9″) or Compact (5″ x 7″) sizes. It’s meant to supplement the airplane’s POH/AFM, not replace it, so confirm it matches your exact model, year, engine and handbook before relying on it. It’s available on Skyfarer and at Skyfarer Shop.
CheckMate formats for the Turbo 210 N
- CheckMate. The design that started it all, with the familiar legacy look, in Standard (6.5″ x 9″) or Compact (5″ x 7″).

How to put it to work
- Confirm the match first. Compare the model, year and engine on the listing with your airplane’s POH/AFM, data plate and records before you fly with it.
- Read it against the handbook once. Go through it page by page with the POH/AFM and any supplements open beside it. Where they differ, the POH/AFM and supplements govern.
- Check the start procedures against the POH. Read the POH/AFM’s starting procedures for your engine, including any hot-start guidance, and make sure what you do in the cockpit matches the handbook.
- Pick the size for your cockpit. Standard (6.5″ x 9″) gives more room on the page; Compact (5″ x 7″) is the smaller option when space on a kneeboard or in a side pocket is tight.
Good to know
A CheckMate Turbo 210 N checklist supplements the aircraft’s POH/AFM; it doesn’t replace it. The handbook, its supplements and the placards in your airplane are the authority on every procedure, speed and limitation, and the checklist is the working copy you fly with.
Airplanes with the same name can differ by model year, engine and installed equipment, so confirm the checklist matches your airplane’s exact model, year, engine and handbook before you rely on it.
Pilot tip: On a hot day with a quick turnaround, plan the start before you shut down: know which POH procedure applies and have it in front of you when you climb back in.
