1/ SB643B is obsolete and has been replaced by SB643C many years ago (D2000 / D3000 mags are no longer included) 2/ For European aircraft maintained under Part-M light, aircraft owners may choose to deviate from TCH recommendations (including SB).

Thank you. This website is amazing .

Thanks for the tip, I already sent an e-mail to techpubs@mooney.com yesterday. I will send an e-mail to support@... if I don't receive an answer.

Yes indeed.

Good morning everyone, I'm looking for the Bendix King KAP 100 AFMS for a J model : p/n 006-0396-00. Unfortunately, only the KAP 150 / KFC 150 AFMS seems readily available on Mooney website but it's not the AFMS I'm looking for... Hopefully someone has it

Installed is PFGC 0110-1.

Not really. Being based at a grass airfield, I can't always fly due to runway surface condition in the winter. During this period, the engine is being regularly ground run. I'm using straight ashless dispersant oil + camguard for best corrosion prevention. Thank you all for your advice. An engine shop also confirmed your assessment : Keep running and monitor.

Hello everyone, During my borescope inspection, I found a light scoring on the cylinder #3 wall (you can find the video below) Engine is a Lycoming IO360 A3B6D TT 2794h TSO : 887h (overhaul in 08/2002). Hot differential compression on cylinder #3 is 78/80. Oil filter inspection revealed a very small amount of metal flakes. Some flakes are magnetic. As of today, the engine runs fine and performs as expected. In the video, the piston is on the bottom of the frame. What is your technical opinion on this matter ? Thanks.

I have a S-TEC PSS 60 installed in my M20J in combination with a KAP100. I don't have the electric / auto-trim option. It works as intended. Installed pitch servo is 0107-P4. Even though you can source parts from eBay, you need to go through S-TEC to get airframe specific parts such as brackets...

You need to remove the blower from the aircraft, disassemble it, lube the shaft and noise will be gone. I've been there already .

GTN650 is quite deep and there is limited space on top of the radio stock. I'm not sure that's physically possible.

And they definitely last for more than 10 hours after welding/repair...

Mine was also stiff and couldn't really be lubed (and shouldn't be by manufacturer instructions). Ended up replacing the prop control cable by a new one from McFarlane (PMA'd). It has been smooth ever since.

My post was not very clear. I understood that the OP had liability concerns regarding operating an engine beyond TBO. I just wanted to point out that he was already doing so. In europe, regulations are now the same : aircraft owners may choose to deviate from TCH recommended TBO for non-commercial ops.

Just wanted to point that calendar TBO on a TCM / Lycoming engine is 12 years (regardless of flight hours). It seems that you have been running the engine beyond TBO for quite some time.

Hi, Would you sell only the rear bulkhead ? Thanks.

When POTUS comes to France, he usually lands at the airport where I'm working as ATC. Vectoring AF1 is .

Here you go.

Basically the same. I try not to use them but sometimes they are convenient when arriving too high (due to terrain or airspace / ATC restrictions).

I had more or less the same issue years ago. See Replacing the mechanical fuel pump did the trick. The engine runs fine because the RSA 5 fuel servo works across a wide range of pressure by design.

Unfortunately I don't have any direct GA experience in Bosnia. So far, I only visited Brac in Croatia and Portoroz in Slovenia. Both places were nice to visit and very GA friendly.

US tools are not difficult to find over here. I would say that half of the GA fleet is composed of US made aircraft.

For those interested, the french NTSB just published an investigation report on a Mooney nose gear collapse. Improper maintenance lead to the failure.

The new maintenance manuals are quite clear regarding 710070-501 lubrication. Unfortunately for me, this piece of information is still not in the latest M20J Maintenance manual (although aircraft are equipped with it). Mooney doesn't care.

Indeed, it was.
