I find the schematics unclear as well. But anyway, it’s hooked up to the battery bus now. Thank you all !

That is good input guys ! Thank you very much

I’d like to learn the reasoning behind it. Or find a reference document. I have zero technical background but I like knowing what happens to my plane.

Clear & concise, @StevenL757 . I like that ! Could you elaborate ?

I can only find the manual for the electrically operated speedbrakes. Since the SB were installed at the Mooney factory I hoped I’d find something in the maintenance manual but alas...

But those are the full electric ones ?

My little firebreather is in the shop for an avionics update. Apparently the speedbrakes are connected to the avionics bus, and they ask whether I want to keep it on the avionics bus or connect it to the battery bus. Any opinions on this ? Avionics bus+engine failure = no speedbrakes. Then again, how much amps do the speedbrakes drain from the battery ? My speedbrakes are pneumatically operated...

That breaks my heart. Should you suffer from withdrawal symptoms, I'll give you a ride in mine

Is she staying on the old continent ?

So let me get this right; deflating the nose tire + jacking the mains 1 inch agl leveled the plane ?

So jacking up is no solution either ? I don’t mind using boards, but I find it odd that a maintenance manual can be off by so much. My trust in manuals is pretty unconditional, you know

That might work without too much hassle. Anybody did this with a K ?

According the maintenance manual, you can level a Mooney just by varying the nosewheel tyre pressure. Is this true ? I’ll need to level my plane in order to calibrate the fuel level readings on my EDM. I was expecting a need for jacking up the plane or something else...

Looks like the latest Cirrus prop. Should be easy to compare performance of different generations Cirri.

Thanks guys !
