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
