Have a basic stupid question regarding flap extension speeds. I am getting ready to fly an Ovation for the first time, and my Mooney trained CFI and I were discussing flap speeds. I have always waited to add any flaps at Vfe which is 109 kts in my F. My CFI mentioned that this speed in the Ovatio...

Mooney Space, Please forgive me… new pilot, new Mooney owner, and new to the group! Took my wife to see our new (to us) 1967 Mooney. I was playing with the battery tender on the other side of the plane when the flaps jolted. I looked up to see my wife (130lbs) was on the wing to sit in the...

I flew to Nashville this morning without any problems (one of the prettiest days of flying ever by the way). I set flaps for takeoff and retracted them fine after takeoff. I landed 3 hours later at John Tune airport in Nashville and retracted the flaps after landing...or so I thought. I parked and...

1978 M20J is down for annual inspection and up on jacks. Cycled flaps down won’t retract up CB not popped. Seems froze what's next?

Since this site is about sharing knowledge I just got a "T" shirt in Flap Troubleshooting. About 2 months ago my flaps would not retract from landing position. I removed the belly pan and did all the normal stuff as in making sure the switches were tight and the contacts were actually depressing....

Hello All..... On today's flight I could not get the flaps to retract upon landing. They were stuck in the landing position (full down, no movement up at all). Removed the belly and took a hard look at the switches. Nothing loose or obvious. There are two micro limits on the Tube (Motor) tha...

An interesting topic came up the other day while reviewing the POH of my 2006 M20R Ovation2. As it states, and as indicated by the white arc, full flaps can be deployed at 110kts. Typically, in the other aircrafts I've flown, I've been instructed to put the first notch of flaps and gear down at th...

So today after doing a practice ILS and a go-around from 50 feet, the flaps stuck full down. The airplane was quite a bit below gross so it did climb, but performance was marginal. Anyways, limped home at 120 MPH and after landing, the flaps came up no problem. A full cycle or two they work fine now...

When I got my '68 M20C a few months ago, my flap handle worked nicely - 2 pumps for takeoff setting, 2-3 more for full. Exactly what the POH says. The release lever was very stiff, but then a local MSC simply lubed the cable, and it worked perfectly too. Now suddenly (on first solo after finishi...

Fellas, My plane is in annual and I'm attempting a light refurb on the interior. Since the panels are removed, I'm looking to fix the broken flap cable. The cable broke where it attaches near the flaps and now the flap indicator is forever stuck at T/O flaps. The cable is .058" diameter and a...
