Mooney m20m bravo real world weight and balance?
Steve2 replied to Ripley98's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
My old Bravo N243CW (2003-2006) had long range fuel (118gal) & FIKI, payload with full fuel & TKS fluid was 90lbs! You definatly needed to be comfortable with partial fuel loads, wing sight gauges helped with that. -
Excessively rich idle mixture will cause high idle MP indications. Try idling at 800-1000rpm and slowly lean the mixture to ICO; if it's too rich you'll see several hundred rpm increase along with decrease in MP.

So you're using the factory drawing as your approved data and sourcing the parts from alternative locations? That's too bad about Frank not being at the factory any longer; I occasionally needed tech support with customer aircraft and he was always responsive with accurate information.

I installed the Mooney factory kit in my 2000 M20R; pn 940105-503. I think kit price was around $5k. It's basically a B&C 20 amp unit that mounts to the pad adjacent to the vacuum pump - note B&C doesn't have an STC for the install and so I found factory was the only option. Installation was a challenge, not for an A&P who's unsure of electrical systems, some of the supplied parts didn't fit the existing connectors in my sn aircraft even though it was the correct kit. Frank Crawford and the team at the factory provided responsive support and we got it all worked out. Note; there are a couple of different kit part numbers; make sure you get the correct one for your aircraft sn.

I think that's me, got it listed here on MS as well. 2000 Ovation 2, 310hp

As I understand it the NAS1307/6607 are a close tolerance bolt, the AN7 isn't so although it would fit, the fit wouldn't be as tight as originally designed.

They don't show stock but maybe a call to https://military-fasteners.com/search/?term=NAS6607-&page=1 Also Genuine Aircraft Hardware https://www.gen-aircraft-hardware.com/ ECAS which is now a part of Monroe Aerospace. My IPC shows NAS1307-72D; don't know is the 6607 supersedes the 1307, might be worth trying to search alternate part numbers. While none of these places show stock they may have an idea of how to find one. If NAS1307-72D is valid for your aircraft; partsbase shows stock available at 3 suppliers.

remove air con to gain extra useful load on Ovation?
Steve2 replied to FJC's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
Wait until you're told that you're #8 for departure at KADS in July and you have no AC............. -
You can purchase them printed from Essco Aircraft. https://www.esscoaircraft.com/c-5202-mooney-maintenance-parts-manuals.aspx When I purchased my J manuals from Essco 20 years ago they also came with all the electrical schematics printed on E sized sheets.

I've been using Tempest filters for years with no problems. Substitute the CH with AA & don't worry about the number after the '-', they're a few $$ cheaper.

Bravo oil consumption m20m -??? Bravo 1998
Steve2 replied to pkofman's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
The formula alexstone posted is taken from Lycoming Service Instruction 1427 and details the maximum oil consumption limits Lycoming considers to be airworthy. For the Bravo that's 0.87qt/hr or put the way we normally figure oil consumption 1.15hrs/qt. For a 200hp IO360 it comes out to be 0.65qt/hr or 1.54hrs/qt - and yes, that's a heck of a lot of oil. I think most owners would be freaking out well before these numbers. As to pkofman's question regarding total run time or flight time (hobbs or tach) the SI doesn't address that, I'd say I wouldn't worry too much about the detail, if you were pouring a quart or 2 into your engine every hour however you calculate it, you need to investigate and determine the cause. Regarding the OP of going from qt/8hrs to qt/5hrs, the change in typical flight profile could certainly be a reason; I guess taking some longer cruise flights would prove/disprove the theory. Oil exits the engine through either case/hose/fitting leaks, breather or exhaust. Case/hose/fitting leaks can be identified with the mark 1 eyeball - is the engine case/inside of the cowling wet with oil? Breather - some is normal, excessive can be caused by high internal crankcase pressure caused by either cylinder blowby (inspect lower sparkplugs for excessive wetness); usually oil goes black quickly / higher CHT on the offending cylinder(s) / higher than normal oil temp or I've heard mentioned leaking crankshaft seal pressurizing the case although I usually see this as oil leaking out at the front of the engine. If it's coming out through the exhaust you may have a greasy tailpipe (wipe your finger around the inside to check) although often with a turbo it may just be so hot all greasy trace is burnt away. Sorry for the slight thread drift from pkofman's original question, the 0.087qt/hr figure mentioned above needed correcting before people got excited that 11.5hrs/qt was the lycoming limit for a Bravo engine. -
Bravo oil consumption m20m -??? Bravo 1998
Steve2 replied to pkofman's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
For the Bravo: (. 006 x 270 x 4 )/ 7.4 = .87 quart/hour consumption maximum!! - there was an extra zero in there. -
Airworthiness Directives; McCauley Propeller Systems
Steve2 replied to Yetti's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
South Coast Propeller overhauled my governor, they supplied me with a letter stating that since 1/31/2017 they have only used a PMA bearing pn APS-20028. Looks like it's worth checking with the last place that overhauled the governor to see if they used McCauley parts or not. -
Don't lose sight of the fact that there are 2 paths from the battery to starter - battery+ve post to starter post & battery -ve post to starter case. From M20Docs post above #2 Is the most significant measurement using the starter case or one of the mounting studs as the ground to measure from.

After committing the same sin several times with Krazo's flight school aircraft at KMKC in the mid-late 90's and doing the same in my 201 at Arlington TX I always, always, always look at the fuel guages before I climb out of the cockpit. In the same vein I always, always, always tug on the baggage door handle before climbing into the cockpit and say to myself 'baggage door locked' and then during run up say to myself 'yes I remember checking baggage door'.....thread drift.

Airworthiness Directives; McCauley Propeller Systems
Steve2 replied to Yetti's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
Yes it does unless your governor is listed in table 1 of ASB273C and has not been overhauled or was installed prior to 1/31/2017. Plus overhauled governors that may have affected bearing installed that was shipped from McCauley between January 31, 2017 and September 27, 2018 My governor was overhauled 6/7/18 and so going to contact the shop Monday and see if the affected part could have been installed. -
Lesson learned. Plane will not start. Contact cleaner?
Steve2 replied to willerjim273's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
100hr inspection procedure on our flight school Piper Warrior III which uses the same style Klixon breakers calls for pulling and resetting all breakers with power off, maybe it helps clean the contacts without arcing which may happen with power on? -
For mixing small quantities I mix in a cat food can and measure the 2 parts using gram scales. https://www.amazon.com/AMIR-Upgraded-500g-0-01g-Stainless-Batteries/dp/B01HCKQG7G/ref=sr_1_7?crid=YJW1CA1ER2EV&dchild=1&keywords=scales+digital+weight+grams&qid=1596446810&sprefix=Scale%2Caps%2C234&sr=8-7

I think he's referring to the core charge being $500, Champion recently increased the core charge for new slick mags to $250ea - previously it was $150

These are what you need to remove the fastener from the grommet. https://store.skybolt.com/sk-4p3-p686.aspx As for removing the retainer from the rear of the grommet I've used a sharp pick and a skinny flat bladed screwdriver, after some practice you don't stab yourself too often. Alternatively you can use these. https://store.skybolt.com/sk-t27-p4960.aspx Steve........
