Impressed I have never seen one on a non transport cat aircraft first plane I flew with one was a 747-400 how does that work without inertial nav?

You have a IVS?! Do you have a INS?

I thought you said large aircraft

They have their pluses and minuses like any design They also have a team of full time mechanics

sure as it does to go to max lift flaps and positive rate go gear up. Even in the jet world rotate is not a command as much as situational awareness

Who said to rotate a single engine piston? I’m big fan of teaching not only is the runway left behind you useless, as it the runway left ahead of you, accelerate build energy and pitch for vx or VY as appropriate. That’s what I do in my personal planes (one only has a A65) That said, positive rate and picking the best lift setting on a GA is universal, it extracts all the performance you’re going to get and unlike the jet the mooney has way less performance in a go around, I can bust 250kias single engine in the jet and have a initial climb rate at sea level on a OEI GA that beats the rate of a new Mooney, so if we want to be clean and high lift in a jet on the GA, I’d wager the piston pounder is even more so

There is a reason why industry wide “positive rate grear up” and flaps gear flaps is a thing I’d think a Mooney would be the same

It might try to, and it’s 300hp with much larger flaps and drooping ailerons, but I just use the elevator to correct Being able to manage a max performance to around should be second nature in anything one is PICing

I wouldn’t have those things out below 500’ AGL

The Mooney has more flap settings than just up or down no? I’d also imagine with full go around power you should be accelerating at a respectable rate

Depends on your flaps settings What’s your balked landing in the POH/AFM say? if I was dragging full flaps I wouldn’t want to do a max performance go around still dragging full flaps, I’d probably default to something around whatever your short field takeoff setting is for max lift. Gear is easy, positive rate gear up As for pitch changes, don’t skip arm day, I have yet to meet a plane I can’t just push to where I want for as long as it takes to trim, and I don’t consider myself a pro arm wrestler or anything For me it would be “go around, flaps XX” -> “positive rate gear up” my flow would be easing back on the control while adding power and hitting the TOGA (one movement) -> flaps to go around setting -> once positive rate gear up

Garmin Garmin talks to Garmin and it’s really the top choice

What’s with “private pilot” in quotes? I know private pilots who fly jets and do damn well at it. Most of them could get their ATP if they wanted, but would more likely go take a aerobatic course or do a fun fly in vacation instead. I don’t think a Mooney is a fire breathing dragon and wouldn’t have a issue doing initial training for someone in one. I believe the big appeal for this sport pilot thing will be one of the short comments of basic med, where basic required a medical from the bureaucrats in OKC to start out I think this will allow folks who don’t have the time and/or money to burn appeasing OKC over stuff like a old traffic ticket, or a childhood BS ADHD diagnosis etc It will also help the career focused types continue to train and build time and progress, while they get their ducks in a row to apply for that 1/2/3rd class med As far as the sharing the airspace with sport pilots I’m a active ATP/CFI working pilot, wide bodies to old taildraggers, I got zero issue with a sport pilot flying around. Its often the sky admiral in his 182 heavy who will complain about a non standard radio call only to fly through a active drop zone, or land ref+warp speed, the folks who just go up for the joy of flight tend not to be the big offenders in my experience So long as the CFIs and DPEs do their jobs more people who enjoy and end up advocating for flying the better It’s also been proven, unwillingly by the FAA funny enough, that FAA medicals are no more safe than basic.BasicVsMedical.pdf

If that is the case it shows what a joke the legal system has become. Sorry they made a huge claim, somehow got the FAA to sign off on their BS, now it turns out their BS is BS and they just get to take their toys and go home without making right? If I was on that jury I wouldn’t be voting that way. Think in 2025 folks are getting sick of corp/gov scams, people don’t think nullification be like it be, but it do

These publishers are killing their own product. I’ve canceled more subscriptions recently, can’t think of any flying mag I still have aside from water flying, and sadly that’s more advertisements than content it seems No one is going to subscribe to read AI influencer style crap, I make it like a sentence or two and I can detect it like raw chicken and I have the same reaction

It 100% is the case lol And the fuel and the STC are all the same maker, same “kit”.

Uhhh no If you advertise it as 100% drop in buildable land, “proven” to be as good as any other land, put out a bunch of BS about how it’s buildable, and turns out its a hidden, and obviously known to you, non buildable toxic swamp, yeah you’re going to have troubles in court

Not today Mr FAA lol I have heard from other people, if you use it as the bottle states it can help with seals and valves, worst case it doesn’t do anything. I think most people who run it are using it to add to mogas for the added lube

It’s really a nothing burger, for a LOC I can fly it LNAV/VNAV with the last altitude hard in the FMS, it draws the path and executes, I set altitude preselect to mins, right before the FAF go green needles and hit/capture that VS, shy of a massive power or wind change it’ll hit the target perfect at MDA and the AP will capture MDA. Still funny as the WAAS system will fly a cleaner approach than the LOC/VOR, outside of a ILS, or major spoofing or jamming, real world it’s just silly

Oddly I’ve been required to be in “green needles” on many a 135 & 121 ride

Ahh ok even more so in that case I’d probably just keep what ya got

Reading some posts on wood/composite coated and comparing to stock metal, that thing is the price of a car and I don’t think for the average leg length your block to block time will be a noticeable difference, let alone the price of a car different The other issue, though not as much for a Mooney, is damage, it’s got a metal edge but it still won’t take FOD etc damage as well as a metal prop. Sounds like you got a good prop on it already, I’d invest that money elsewhere IMO

I don’t look down on anyone, but to me some things I don’t get, like the debt culture these days. If you’re paying for others to do the work, if the rate is higher than what you make,, it’s still your time, and you’re going to have to work MORE hours to get the work done. How if it’s work you really don’t want to do…

Nah The reason we have tons of people who will never outright own their home and are debt slaves is because they value their time like demigods, yet their paycheck says 2025 blue collar, ain’t no shame in being blue collar, just plan and work accordingly As I said before, if you ain’t north of 2M per year NET income, roll your damn sleeves up. I ain’t that rich, but putting in the work and elbow grease I got two planes, cars, property, outright own everything The plane in question here, I haven’t seen anything that said it was a good deal or a bad deal, but like those clickbait YouTube videos, sprinkle a little dust and a touch of surface rust and the non calloused hands throw in the flag

It’ll spin up APU, start a electric starter jet or turbo prop, now the mighty 6 banger conti/lyc might be too much
