I can't answer your specific question, but I can say that, like every Mooney, you can't load up four large people, 100 gallons of fuel, and 120 lbs of baggage. You may not be able to do any two of those things.

Oh yeah.

There is no generic answer. You need to run the W&B for your airplane. If it seems way off, you may have to have it weighed by someone who knows what they are doing -- it's a lot of work.

Probably the FO too.

Unlike the Rocket, there is no legal amount of lead or batteries in the tail that will fix those numbers.

Love those numbers! Were they 520s like Erik?

FWIW the data comports with things posted on BeechTalk several years ago by Walter Atkinson. Just curious about original source. Last Modified by Don Kaye, but no way to tell what the modification was.

Any idea where Michael Mahoney got the data?

Where did that table come from?

For me, the bottom line is to protect the engine -- in particular, the cylinder heads. LOP, ROP, red box, EGT, leaning for takeoff are all good discussions, but as you experiment with different settings and techniques, you will probably be okay if you keep all your CHTs below 380 or 390. And keep in mind that CHT is not an instantaneous reflection of throttle, prop, and mixture -- good idea to make small changes, and give your instruments some time to show a trend or settle into a steady state before further changes.

I don't know much about PowerFlow, but I seem to remember reading on MooneySpace that it increases CHT. At the time, I thought it made sense. More power=more heat?

I didn't notice that but, if missing, it would be good for the OP to get it sorted now while it's fresh in everyone's memory.

Nice! Who did them?
