Good job. There's nothing else to say about a positive outcome right after the fact.
Now that it's over see what caused the fluid to get so hot. The electric pump system isn't the best in the Cessna singles which isn't the best system or really even a good system. I've heard of a pump staying on and because of the training done in the case of the Cutlass I mentioned earlier the circuit breaker being pulled/reset all the time for training didn't work as advertised. The pump overheated and supposedly the CB fused so it couldn't be popped to shut the pump off.
Hopping into all these different types of airplanes can present some hazards as well and while the 210 isn't a hugely complex machine it's certainly different from a 172 especially with the Turbo and Pressurized variants. You really do owe it to yourself a very thorough checkout which gets you a good depth of system knowledge beyond simply how to work the various systems. How to work them when they're not working as advertised is equally if not more critical.
It's been too long since I flew a Cessna single RG to really know these things but I have an idea why the pump handle may have been warm though I wouldn't think it so hot to actually burn your hand.
Inb4 golfer tells him that it was preventable and/or his fault.
Tupac has done some things that raised flags and brows and I've said as much. Mostly because he's doing things that echo mistakes I've made that resulted in stupid pilot moments or gotten airplanes/people hurt. A serious event that gets the blood flowing is a good thing but you need to temper your swell of confidence so you don't find yourself in over your head on the next abnormality. He might be a natural stick that can handle the things he's experienced with relative ease making everything else appear to have that same relative ease or build a certain level of complacency. He demonstrated that on his first solo, during his further training and has done so numerous times. I speak up because I have a genuine concern as I've been in his shoes of teenage hotshot pilot and can look back at the idiocy I survived at no help of my own.
I'd like to see him succeed and more importantly I'd like to not have those concerns in the back of my mind that one day I won't have anymore. That's not today however so until then the little hairs on the back of my neck keep talking and I'll keep listening.
