it is up to date https://flamingo-parakeet-cnj9.squarespace.com/ if you have something specific you're interested in, shoot me a message, or make me an offer

if you're in that neighborhood, I highly recommend flying the VOR-A into KWVI Watsonville. Unique "backwards" DME arc https://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/2211/00805VA.PDF

so sorry, its not

Fellow Bravo owners -- I have a number of Bravo-specific parts which are going to the wholesaler if they don't get sold. These include cluster gauges, MP, RPM gauges, and a few other bits.

C&W Aero in CDW (N NJ) did an excellent job on mine.

Do. Not. Try. To. Climb. Out. With. Full. flaps. you will be disappointed It’s not just a huge amount of drag, but also the sight picture -
Ponder, whether you think the plane will not stall at 60 with only approach flaps at gross weight (separately : is the white arc for MGLW or MGTW?)

my question was directed at @Hank who said 'that's not how I read this"
-
91.9 " no person may operate a civil aircraft without complying with the operating limitations specified in the approved Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, markings, and placards" if you read it differently, what operating limitation do you propose is not being complied with by using T/O (10 degree) flaps between 140 and 110?
-
so the landing checklist is performed to transition the aircraft configuration from the arrival segment of the flight to the landing segment, not "on final." in VFR, that would be entering the pattern. under IFR that would be at the FAF. Its not unheard of for approach to ask for 140 to the outer marker, where, when you lower the gear, the plane will begin a 500fpm descent.
-
never mind, i just found one online for S/N 29-0045: https://www.rebay.at/fliegen/manuals/oe-kgg_m20r_ovation_poh.pdf and it has exactly the same checklist
-
1998 M20M landing checklist deploy gear below 140 deploy takeoff flaps deploy full flaps below 110 what does the R AFM say?
-
1998 M20M landing checklist -- gear down at 140. approach flaps. full flaps below 110.
-
its worthwhile pulling the avionics and panel CBs one at at time to see what works or doesnt work when something fails
-
which is why i never forward slip in the mooney -- only crab to the runway. in the glider, forward slip is a required maneuver for inop dive brakes, and in planes (citabria) that don't have flaps and gliders (schwietzer 2-32) that don't have dive brakes.
-
I agree with this
-
why is this?
-
partial/no flaps means you need higher airspeed, but full flaps doesn't mean you need lower airspeed. in any event, the M (only mooney i've flown) has more than enough rudder authority to do a low energy landing in a stiff xw with full flaps and still stay on the centerline. but then again, I have a lot of experience using my feet.

saw N79826 parked at 1N7 yesterday

does anyone have LED replacement bulbs? LED recogs are on order. its just these "2" bulbs that are still incandescent on mine

rbp replied to Van Lanier's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
ok, maybe i wasn't clear -- its not that its more difficult -- its the point in time when its happening. at some point during the flight, I come down to doing only one of two things: continuing the approach to a landing or going missed. anything else happening in the airplane (navigator, configuration, radios, seat back tray tables, chit chat, etc) has to wait until I'm out of a critical phase of flight. maybe that point in time comes later in the approach for you than it does for me, but I'm OK with that. its a kind of "personal minimum" for me -
in my M i only do full flap landings, regardless of xwind/gusts because i want to touch down as slow as possible. some people says full flaps is more difficult, but I prefer slow speed and less energy. I would do partial flaps with icing or (duh) flaps inop. i don't do a lot of low-ceiling IFR, but that might be another reason not to deploy full flaps because "stable approach". i believe the partial flaps landing in xwind/gusts comes from (high wing) airplanes whose flaps blanket the empennage and reduce rudder authority.
