Hello Everyone!! I have owned several Mooneys, starting with a 1984 201, followed by two 252's, two "M" Models and finally my current Ovation and have logged close around 2.300 hours in all of them and flown them everywhere in the U.S and also to see Angel Falls in Venezuela. I found that I cou...

Who would imagine that Thursday of Airventure 2023 would be an immensely busy departure day??? I was leaving Oshkosh to go to Oasis Aero in Willmar, MN to get the annual done on my Ovation. ATC was using Runway 27 that morning for all departures and some arrivals while using Rwy 36 for arrival...

Hi, looking to buy an MSE/Allegro, Encore (at least 1000 lb useful), Eagle/Screaming Eagle or Ovation to replace my micro-burst damaged Mooney (hangar door fell on it). I've owned the Mooney since 2001. I prefer the newer round window style, 28v. IO-390 replaced - awesome. Prefer low to mid-time, ta... -
Flew to Oshkosh from Northeast Florida with a fuel stop in South Wisconsin for lowest priced fuel in the area and close to 1 hr flight from there to Oshkosh. Total time from takeoff in FL to landing at Oshkosh was 6 hrs 50 min and around 84 total gallons of fuel having run the engine lean of peak. H...

Had filed IFR for flight between Lake City and Fernandina due to bad weather with thunderstorms along the way. Turns out I ended up in a valley of VFR where it was quite smooth. Had a really nice surprise when I heard a friend who is a controller with Jax Center on the air who then gave me my cleara... -
I went to Sun n Fun a couple of weeks ago during the middle of the week. On the way there I had hoped to be able to arrive in IFR conditions for a first time to either Oshkosh or Sun n Fun with an IFR approach. But…. Ceilings lifted to MVFR and had to find a hole to get below clouds and then end up...

LIFR conditions on the coast with conditions deteriorating due to sea fog to roll in a few hrs. Unlimited ceilings some 20 nm inland and VFR at destination. Runway looked clear from the air, but on the landing roll-out saw some deer running along the left side of the runway. You should increas...

This is my first night flight after having installed a GTN750 Xi to replace 530W, GFC500 to replace KFC150 and GI275 EIS to replace Insight G4 and all other engine gauges. Also changed glare shield lights to green LED's. I had done a couple of previous flights in daylight to work out some bugs and i...

Hello everyone! I am posting the video of a really nice flight I did with my daughter and her boyfriend over the Hudson, across Manhattan over N. Central Park, and back down the East River using the Skyline Route in Class B airspace. It was a first for all three of us as well as the first time...

I have always “felt” that speed brakes might increase the stall speed in a Mooney. However, never really read anything specific nor does the POH publish any stall speeds with the speed brakes deployed. So, thought I would take to the skies and do a “test” flight. I was a bit surprised and now believ...

...to part ways with the Ovation3 that I love and cherish - sometimes more than life itself. Like many of us in this position, family/personal and work situations have changed (mainly for the better), and "it's now that time". My goal - and some may say I'm being unreasonable - is for this air...

Hi all! Garmin will have our recently upgraded Ovation 2 on display at the Garmin exhibit during AirVenture Oshkosh featuring the G500 TXi flight display, dual GTN Xi navigators, dual GI 275 electronic flight instruments, and the GFC 500 autopilot. Stop by, say hi, and take a look at how we u...

Since my Mooney is going for an annual by the end of this month I flew up to 11,500 feet to perform "in-flight engine diagnostic tests" as recommended by Mike Busch and SavvyAviation. The tests I did were the GAMI sweep to confirm my GAMIjectors were performing as expected and also a LOP mag check t...

Recently I had the pleasure of an unrealized comparison flight between the 2000 M20R I currently rent and a friend's 201. Two weekends ago we took a flight in the 201 to San Angelo (SJT) for a $100 hamburger run. At 7000' and 150 TAS, we were seeing about a 10 knot tail wind for a gs of 160 knots. N...

I have done the search and read what’s available but I can only interpolate some of the information to my plane and installation. I’m planning on replacing my left mag with a SureFly electronic ignition. The left mag is the more difficult to replace and my right mag runs the smoothest of the 2 so th...

I was asked in a PM whether the active leg of a hold was displayed in the GI 275 while also displaying it on the GNS 530W and if it was flown correctly by the autopilot.My setup is a GI 275 ADAHRS+AP as primary ADI and a GI 275 ADAHRS configured as MFD/Standby ADI. They are connected to the GNS 530W...

This video shows how the dual Garmin GI-275’s perform superbly in an RNAV approach into KFHB in low IFR conditions getting me down to minimums. The scan is easy and clear. Horizontal and vertical deviation indicators on both the ADI and HSI are clear and easy to fly with. The KFC 150 autopilot is dr...

Greetings All -- My plane is in the shop for some panel work, so no flying. When it is flying, my engine monitor doesn't report %HP, so that got me to wondering how those that do calculate it for each engine type, since obviously RoP %HP is dependent upon a number of factors, some external... -
