So, I have about 5 years of flying under my belt, about 500 hours, an instrument rating. My mission requirements have changed and I need a faster airplane. I"m 56 years old, in reasonably good health. I'm not god's gift to pilots... I have had my share of excitement getting to this level of being a pilot.
I have read quite a bit out of this forum before reaching out to you folks... I get that this group is really sold on Mooney's.
My concerns are as follows:
Is a Mooney to much airplane for me?
How tricky are they to land?
How hard will it be to transition to?
How reliable are they?
How safe are they?
How expensive to insure and maintain?
What do I need to know I have not even asked yet?
Who would you get involved for a prebuy inspection ?
