M20S Driver

Exactly. This plane has two STC's. First one upgraded it to 280HP and the second one to 310HP.

No partners yet but I am in no rush. I just wished I had more time to fly it more frequently. I have seen that clip and know the young man that put it together. His passion and knowledge of aviation is amazing

+1 for additional safety. I will have to upgrade to a JPI 900 potentially in the next few years. I am wondering if JPI has a similar feature to monitor the MAGs? If not, I will keep it on the right panel.

My Mooney with 310 HP STC has one too. Redline is 2700RPM.

Thanks but this is not the answer to the question that I asked. My question is more about the advantages of the different methods. However.... I bought Don's Landing Video a few years ago and have been using it. I was at 2700lbs landing on a short runway and Don's table shows 80 as approach speed minus 5 for short field and minus 5 for every 300 lb below gross weight. This makes it about 80-13.3=66.7 kts. Add a 50% gust factor which is 3.5 kts and you get 70.2 kts. I was coming in about 70-73 give or take.

Let's discuss the short field landing with a crosswind I flew to Oceano ( L52) on Sunday landing on runway 29er. The runway is 2315 feet long and 50 feet wide. Winds were from 220 to 260 at 9 gusting to 16. I came in around 70 kts since I was the only one in the plane and gradually pulled the power back whiled making a few small cross wind corrections and chopped off power after flare, right before touch down. It worked fine but is there a better way? When I first did my transition training, the short field was always power off. While I was at the airport, I noticed another

Thanks for your posts. Renting reduces the cost burden (usually) but creates a lot of other challenges. I can share my beautiful Eagle with another person who is into the Mooneys and has enough time in type to get in and out of KPAO or KSQL. Otherwise, I will keep it happily

I used many procedures and the one that works the best for me is the one in the POH: Throttle at Idle Mixture full rich Low Boost ON and Start immediately. Advance the Throttle slowly after a few blades and if all the way in, pull back to idle slowly.

Please don't make this the beginning of the end of Mooneyspace as we know it. I love this site but agree that politics and personal opinions in the form of comments or jokes don't belong here. They don't do anything for my Mooney or yours.

I fly out of KPAO which is less than 2400 feet and I had to do my landing 3 days after buying the plane. I did my first 10/15 landing in KPAO with power off over the fence and on the right speed with full flaps and speed brakes. Winds and even winds with a little cross wind component were a big help. Don Kaye has a landing video and some literature that I found to be a gold mine in helping me.

Long body attachment looks different.
