Was the gear down indicator also off on the panel, in addition to off on the floor indicator? If so, check the gear down switch in the belly for proper operation. Hopefully a replacement switch for the M20R will be easy to find, and affordable. I found mind blowing prices for M20J substitute switches to the replacement switch of the original switch, when available and sometimes within weeks to months, especially if it’s a Honeywell switch. Buying a used switch may work or not and only delays replacement with a new switch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don’t sell Norm! Have a sleep doctor issue you a CPAP that records data, get at least a month of usage data (check with AME or AOPA medical for guidance on how much), send data along with letter from the sleep doctor saying the sleep apnea is under control to the FAA medical examiner requesting a Special Issuance certificate. It is no big deal to have one issued and continue enjoying your bird. Regards -Hank Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Jake. I will PM you separately. The unit just went dark after working well during the flight. Resetting the CB made no difference and on the ground I verified the CB works. I have a working spare that is the same model number but different part number and came out of a Velocity acft during an upgrade, so I don’t think I can plug in the spare in my M20J and expect it to work, but may just fry something else.

Thanks! Probably will need a big prayer and offerings to the Gods of Avionics[emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great, thanks very much. Hank Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Indeed it is, but what I found so far is dated and not very useful. I will keep at it. Thanks- Hank Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, I know of them but thought they no longer worked on the Century 2000. I’ll give them a call. Hank Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I will look into them. Hank Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you for all the efforts Craig and for MooneySpace. The $25 fee is one I’m pleased to pay for all the value delivered. Hank Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone have a recommendation on where to send a Century 2000 Autopilot Computer for repair? My understanding is Century Flight Systems in Mineral Wells, TX is no longer in business. I'm currently investigating sending the unit to Palm Beach Avionics, but would appreciate any other recommendations. I realize given the 25 year age of the unit it would be best for the long term to invest in a new, digital autopilot, and will likely do so when its time for the next upgrade of other avionics, but not yet. thanks - Hank

The M20J Advanced Training System (M20J-ATS) has RH brakes. Try searching for that. If you wish I can post the relevant pages from the IPC that will show the parts involved. You might try contacting Mooney Technical Support to ask if there was/is a kit available to install RH brakes when not originally in the airplane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, does your IPC actually show the P6-24014 or 1EN1-S, and if does for which M20 model? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, the 1CH116-6 is the same on the M20J IPC. I am looking for an IPC page like you provided that shows the 1CH1-6 that I think was used in the E, G, and G Mooneys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello Mooney family, Does anyone have an IPC that lists the Honeywell 1CH1-6 Gear Down Limit switch as a original or alternate installation? My understanding is that switch was used by the M20E and M20K, but I do not know if used in the J and other models in between. My IPC (MAN226, 2003) for the M20J lists only the obsolete Honeywell 1CH116-6 switch. thanks - Hank
