Cylinders repaired, guides, brand new mags, fuel servo. Taken out of Lake amphibian. 1200 series mags, needs switch mags. $20K USD. Canadian log books, all ADs etc

I called to ask the price.

I am glad to read this initial post. I have to say that as a new IFR pilot in an E model, icing is probably my biggest fear. The DPE I tested with said 10C/-10C is his rule and that I should plan on being 4000 feet below the freezing level. That would mean I would not really be able to take off in some instances. I am wondering what the best resource is for icing information/forecast. I use Foreflight and NOAA. It was interesting to learn about the tail icing. Thanks for all comments that are nice! XXOO

Here is my latest installment for AOPA Opinion Leaders on Amy Helm, a cool, fierce, and determined airport manager in Glenwood Springs Colorado. I am hoping to stop there on my way to OSH18 if the weather-Gods allow. https://blog.aopa.org/aopa/2018/02/18/if-you-build-it-they-will-come/

Come see me at #SNF18. I will be presenting on Saturday April 14th @ 3:00 p.m. at the AOPA Pavilion. "Exiting the Hold: Reaching Your Aviation Goals" This will be a great chance for you to learn about what might be holding you back. Plus it is always fun to see friendly faces in the audience. Mooney Girls/Mooney Ambassadors will be on display at the Mooney International area. Sun n Fun is a blast. Can't wait to see you there. Who is coming??

Sold the KX 155, but a lot of stuff left. Let me know if you need anything.

Hi there, yes I am at Yuma. Let's see my serial number is 732. The all in one unit came out of my plane and was in working order. the separate unit gauges, I purchased thinking that would be able to be swapped for my unit. That is not the case.

That would be swell. AI/Vacuum was overhauled about 3.5 years ago, which would have been conservatively 300 hours ago. Funny because when I took this photo I hadn't started up yet. When I did we found the suction tube was re-mounted backwards. My AI was doing a dance!

Right? I will be focused on rule #1 "Don't hit lead" I am seriously looking forward to utilizing the equipment, but I have to say for now the IR has given me such a new found freedom. Living at the beach before was a bit of a problem with marine layer/clouds. Not now!

I do know Michael from CMA. I am going to be using Mike Jesch, my CFII. He also does FAAST trainings on the 530, ipad etc. Also going to do an online course with Gary Reeves.

Wow, thank you so much. You answered a bunch of questions I had on my initial flight with the unit. I am fortunate in a way because I had dual KX155s, now I have one KX155 with vor/GS. So I do have that which is very normal/natural for me.

I am going to take a class on the 530W.I want to make sure I know it's capabilities and how to change things, on the fly so to speak.

Hey all, Here is my latest installment of AOPA Opinion Leaders. We all have far more in common than we might think. https://blog.aopa.org/aopa/2018/01/23/the-bottom-line-we-all-started-in-the-same-place/

Thank you Don. A dear friend made it for me!

This summer I purchased a 530W from a friend and then won an auction at EAA's Gathering of Eagles [OSH] for a GTX 335. After I got my IFR I decided to install. I chose Barber Aviation in Madera, CA. They quoted me a reasonable price, and best yet a 5-7 day turnaround time. I also had a Stratus dual USB installed. I am happy to say that it was super cool to fly Miss Maggie home yesterday with the new-to-me technology. I can recommend Chris Tharp and Barber Aviation wholeheartedly. They have a maintenance facility and an avionics shop. Next week will be a trip to Yuma for the Gunfighter's Formation Clinic. Life is good. #MooneyZoom

Sorry, I looked for the title and didn't see anything

Thank goodness for that air frame. #TexasStrong https://www.pe.com/2018/01/17/small-plane-crashes-in-parking-lot-of-santas-villege-in-sky-forest-no-major-injuries/ A small plane carrying four people crashed Wednesday morning in the parking lot of Santa’s Village in Skyforest, the San Bernardino County Fire Department said. The plane, which the Federal Aviation Association registry identifies as a Mooney M20E, crashed about 11:30 a.m., fire department spokesman Eric Sherwin said. All four people — a pilot and three passengers — walked away with minor to moderate injuries.
