A recent in-flight incident concerning a hopelessly jammed stabilizer trim on a K model prompted increased attention to an obscure Mooney Service Instruction (M20-88), and most likely a new Service Bulletin will be released soon. I have written an article that will deal with this subject in more de...

Sometimes laser-pointer idiots do get caught! Here is a fantastic video of some dOOd with a laser pointer getting arrested. Glad they caught this one. Note that it was "A Florida Man". http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2020/01/he-pointed-laser-at-airplanes-landing.html I have never been las... -
**Disclaimer, some of the NTSB reports are not final, I do not work for the NTSB or FAA, and my analysis is only as a concerned Mooney owner and not in an official capacity. I also realize that some of our MS members may be the subject to some of these crashes. The observations are objective and not...

With personal minimums and decision-making guidance written down, it's easier to fight the temptation to "mentally negotiate" yourself into a tight spot during the heat of the moment. A contract with yourself, your passengers, and your family to fly safely and within personal minimums will help you...

I've been at AOPA for a little over a year...I have the privilege of heading up the Air Safety Institute. One of the favorite parts of my job is getting to interact with members and pilots on a regular basis. One of the common complaints I've heard about AOPA from pilots is that sometimes the asso...

Air Safety Institute just posted this video. Mid-air collisions fall into that “low probability, high consequence” category, but it's still scary to think about, esp if you've had a close call. In this video, ASI discusses areas where the risk of a mid-air is greatest as well as strategies for...

The good news is, probably no one reading this thread. There’s a study almost ready for publication that looks at the safety records of pilots who participate in type club activities, forums, additional training etc. against pilots in the same type of aircraft that don’t.

What all-in price for an ABS (anti-skid braking system) STC including installation costs would make it a 'no-brainer' decision for you? Some may not be interested at any price. Glad to hear your opinions as well. Potential benefits include reduced tire wear/damage, shorter braking distances...

I recently installed a General Techniques CYA-100 AOA in my Rocket. The CYA-100 uses a different system than the Alpha Systems version and it is much simpler to install and costs a lot less ($400). I installed it myself under the watchfull eye of my IA. It works great. I have a short movie of...

MooneySpacer's As many of you may know, I recently was brought in to lead AOPA's Air Safety Institute. I typically do not use the forum to discuss AOPA stuff but since I fly Mooney's I wanted you all to have a special “sneak peek” at what ASI is getting ready to launch. Below is a summary of t...

I sat in my cockpit today for 30 minutes trying to figure this one out. I would probably have purchased these two items long ago if I could just figure out how to sto them so easily accessable to seated pilot. Otherwise a waste of money (IMHO). Just could not see a place without creating i... -
I am starting to plan on attending one of the MAPA Safety Foundation's Pilot Proficiency Programs this year. Tucson in April would be nice and let me visit my Alma Mater. However it is out as my wife has a convention in San Diego the same week. June in Denver looks pretty good but I have family in...
