Has anyone else got one of these? I am guessing it is computer generated but still, a great heads up. Based on my JPI 830 flight files Savvy says my oil pressure is too high compared to the 2428 other flights by a cohort of 57 other M20 (S/R) aircraft. I run 65 psi in cruise. I went back and checked it has been this way since I got the plane. The POH says 30 - 100 psi on oil pressure but Continental IO-550-G specs say 30 - 60 psi Any thoughts?

Eric with Oasis Aviation in Willmar, Minnesota flew me to Flying Cloud airport after I left my 89 201 at Weep No More. I had never flown or been in an Ovation and saw this as a good opportunity to see what it was like. For a number of reasons that have been discussed here before, I LOVED what I saw in the Ovation. It has been said before that there is "No replacement for Displacement." I appreciated this experience. The downside is, even though my 201 has served me well, I see what I have been missing. Speed cost money. How fast can you afford to go?

Yesterday I tested the Standby Alternator in my Ovation 2 29-0363 (905 hours TTIS) all according to the published procedure, and it failed. To track down the fault the top cowl was removed, the prop rotated by hand, and we found the alternator was not rotating, so the problem seems to be the shear coupling. Have any other readers experienced the shear coupling failure, and at what TTIS? Was the alternator replaced or overhauled with the shear key replacement? It seems that the alternator is essential for TKS equipped Ovations, but not essential for non TKS. I'm not overly confident flying with the standby U/S because the G1000 equipped Ovation 2 needs plently of power, but then I accumulate some 1000 hrs on my first Ovation 1 (29-0156) in some of the most remote areas of Australia without the luxury of a standby. -
Hey everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster. I have been researching the purchase of a plane for years and will hopefully be able to make it a reality in the not too distant future. I am very interested in the Mooney lineup and have read a lot on the different models. This forum has been a great resource, thanks! My mission would be lots of local flights of 100nm or less with occasional (5-7x/year) longer cross country flights of around 5-600nm. I live in Vancouver Canada (so essentially the Pacific Northwest). I would love to make flights up and down the west coast but also have family one province over to the east. This would involve a flight over the Rockies. MEA for victor airways along that route are around 17000ft, but there are GPS routes slightly further south with MEAs of 13500ft so flights would have to be at a minimum of 14-15000ft depending on direction. Given this profile, how badly would you think a turbo is needed? It seems like it would be pushing it for an M20J but what about an Ovation. Ceiling is advertised at 20000ft. Is it reasonable to expect to safely be able to get up to 16-17000ft near gross weight with reasonable climb rates? Or would a turbo be the way to go? I’d appreciate any thoughts! Thanks in advance.

moritz gauge cluster package is junk, cant get unit repair , dilemmas finding space to install approved replacement the JPI 930 is approved unit will require major panel revamp, 5.5 inches of space is a little too large for left side of panel, are there any other units that are approved as primary and use less space in panel, currently have a jpi monitor that about 3 inch's

Hello All, I'm in need of a POH for the Ovation2 s/n 29-0323 to 29-0332. any ideas?

Hey all, While watching planes land at Clemson on Monday for the eclipse, a nice Ovation, N426WU swooped in. They had to park all the way at the end of the taxiway so I never made it down there to meet them, but by model and paint scheme we were kindred spirits. It's registered to an LLC in Petersburg PA. Any body here wanna' self-identify? Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet face-to-face. Cheers!

Hey folks, Those of you with Ovations and an engine monitor that outputs to a data log (which should be just about everyone, barring some of the early-generation G1000s that haven't been upgraded to WAAS) should open an account with Savvy Analysis (http://www.savvyanalysis.com) so you can load your engine monitor data up there on a regular basis. This has two benefits. There is no charge for a basic account, so you can load your flights up and use their online analysis tools to explore your own engine characteristics to your heart's content. If you choose to pay for the Pro service, then you can get Savvy's help with their expert analysis, but what's even better, is you can get access to their report card that shows you how well you are doing compared to others in your class on the most common engine parameters. But here's why we need more Ovations to join in. Right now they don't have enough Ovations in the system to form a "cohort" that allows them to do this group analysis. Strangely, they do have a cohort for Eagles, but I guess with the detuned HP of an Eagle they didn't feel they could lump Ovations into that group. So whether or not you end up subscribing to their service, you can help out the Ovation public at large by posting your data so they can form a cohort and start tracking our models across the board. And in case you're not aware of Savvy Analysis, another great feature of the paid service is that they will automatically run their Failing Exhaust Valve Analysis (FEVA™) on every flight you import, so that if their algorithm detects the potential for a failing valve they will trigger an automatic Alert out to your email so you can have it checked out. I am in no way affiliated with Savvy other than as a customer, but I do think this is a great service and I highly recommend it for anyone who has an engine monitor from which they can dump the data. It gives good insight into how to operate your engine. Also, one of our own MSers is one of the analysts who routinely helps me with my flight data (I won't "out" him in case he wants to remain anonymous!). But really, Ovation owners, start uploading your data! It's free and easy, and very insightful even if you don't pay Savvy a dime. Thanks!
