As a fellow aviator mentioned, Life can be very tough and very personal. The further into this CFI active flying game you’ll know of someone maybe someone very close. We’re challenged to review, reset, take a breathe and move on. I know of a former student years ago, past CFI associate, even a flight review client. You get close to people in this business… trust you’ll have better days.

I’m just a lowly M20J driver. Is this hurry up and wait? Any thought will the AeroCruze 100 actually come to certified fruition on our Moonys?

I have waited almost 3 years for the A/P but nothing has happened after numerous promises.
I know its a tough world to certify a new autopilot but after almost 60 years in aviation I find it hard to comprehend "this" difficult.
Something alluded to in a notice from them was that the upcoming drone market is a real good fit for their A/P. In reality that is where the big money really is for them.
It may happen for Moneys and it may not but I have moved on and I am rolling the dice on the Dynon A/P combined with the 10" HDX screen. The screen is certified and the A/P is actually in development by them. My HDX screen install will be done in about 4 weeks.
If funds are the issue then I might advise holding out to see what happens but if more investment is possible (especially on a J) take a good look at Dynon for a complete panel change out.

Our corporate coverage went up approximately 15 % overall that’s managing our 78 M20J, 77 C172N & 70 C150L. The hull value portion on the 3 didn’t increase but the hit was in the liability coverage Individually. It could’ve been worse from others I’ve read going into 2020. Jenna with Wenk Aviation Insurance has been a great help with our aviation coverage.

We updated her auto pilot so now she has GPS roll control steering along with heading bug control. She’ll intercept and make the turns on a gps approach, then at the suspend command she’ll fly the published miss with turns to the hold. Not bad for 1 axis auto pilot. We like her very much. -

Thanks to all who offered me advise. About 60 min after the problem and lunch reached in turned on the master flipped the flap switch and up they retracted. I’ll have the contacts cleaned too. Thanks

Needed—A&P Checklist for gear at annual
DF's M20J replied to KB4's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
I Like the video. I own M20J 1978 N9201T. Just went through her 2nd annual since purchase 05/2017 w/150 hrs of use. Am having intermittent gear floor light itself working and not working. Seems to be an intermittent short on the socket itself. Looking for wiring diagram and part numbers for replacement as needed. I get good confirmation through the annunciator panel and can see the manual movement through the floor display itself. Gear horn is working with confirmation too looking for advice, Dave DF's M20J 262-308-3216
