Disconnecting oxygen gauge line in Bravo
BillySpace replied to IvanP's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
I’d recommend venting the tank first before disconnecting that line, especially since it’s almost full. Even if the valve is shut, there could still be some pressure. Better to be safe than sorry. -
Yep, I’ve got mine in a trust. It helps with estate planning, liability protection, and avoiding probate. Some folks skip it, but for me, it adds peace of mind. Definitely worth considering if you're planning long-term.

Looks like you handled the situation well with the go-around. As for the engine, a quick throttle advance to full power is generally fine as long as you’re not over-torquing or overstressing it. You’re right to bring it back to 25/25 once you’re clear. Just be mindful of that "over-squared" situation... it can put strain on the engine if sustained for too long. But overall, no major harm in what you did for a go-around. Keep practicing and be safe!

You can usually find M20F parts manuals on Mooney’s official website or check out resources like SkyGeek or Aircraft Spruce. Sometimes even forums or Facebook groups for Mooney owners can have good leads.

Sounds like you’ve got a solid handle on your engine management. Running ROP should be fine for short bursts, but just keep an eye on the temps and pressures—especially if you’re pushing the speed. If you’re not seeing excessive temps and your engine’s happy, it’s probably okay for a quick run, but keep monitoring. Looks like you're dialed in pretty well!

Hello everyone, Good to be on the forum. I signed up because I'm in the market for Gamin Apollo SL40 VHF COMM. If anyone happens to have one or know someone who does, I would greatly appreciate a referral. Thanks guys!
