Yeah, but aerobatic they ain't!! -
You are right of course, definitely a brain fart there. The speeds in the formula are not Vref and Vso, but the weight-corrected approach speed and the "book" approach speed at MGW, respectively. Vreal = Vbook x SQRT(landing weight/gross weight)

Back seat has been rendered INOP by personal minimums, i.e. I just don't put people there, ever and under any circumstances. An E is a 2-seater in my book. Baggage is certainly a consideration, hence the lbs in the chart. Easy to correct for 50 or 100 extra pounds.

Vref = Vso x SQRT(landing weight/gross weight) I have this little thing on my sun visor. Speeds are in MPH and are valid for my 71E.

I cannot recommend Owen and Barefoot Aviation enough. He performed a comprehensive PPI of my E, and I ended up buying a great airplane.

Are the M20C/D's legal to fly under MOSAIC

My E is 1 - ONE - mph CAS over MOSAIC cutoff -
How long did AD research and compliance take, since this is first annual performed at this shop?

Amazon Leo Nano appears to be much smaller at 7*7 in and 2 lbs. Remains to be seen what the coverage and pricing look like. https://leo.amazon.com/technology/

"Complete major overhaul at FAA approved facility" is such a lovely way to say "field overhauled", isn't it??

Not sure what model you need, but Spruce has R1530B in stock for $619.

That's a fascinating statistic

He's a good friend. That helps!!

A&P/IA signing off the annual goes on the first post-maintenance flight with me. Sure as hell makes him triple check things.

My Butler E certainly flies much slower than it "should", but I have always attributed this to flying exclusively deep LOP and having no interest in leaning "per book".
