This is the applicability list. Which of these are complied with, their computed next-due dates, and the 33 serial/mod-conditional ADs that actually apply to your aircraft come from its digitized logbooks — that’s the verified report.
Known trouble spots on the T210L
Corrosion and fatigue cracking of the wing carry-through spar prompted an emergency AD after a fatal in-flight wing separation. Eddy-current / visual spar inspections are required on affected 210s (and are a Cardinal watch item). Confirm the spar inspection is in the records.
The Cessna 210 hydraulic retractable gear (power pack, actuators, saddle clamps, up-locks) is maintenance-intensive and a frequent squawk source. Look for gear power-pack service, actuator/seal work, and gear rigging / retraction checks.
Many Hartzell and McCauley constant-speed props carry blade-shank or hub ADs plus a calendar/hours overhaul interval; blade corrosion and hub grease leaks are common findings. Confirm the prop AD status and last overhaul against the interval.
