Please direct this to the appropriate thread if there is one but I couldn't find one... Recently purchase a M20J -- LOVE IT! However, on about 3 or 4 of my take off in the last 2 months since I've bought it, I've noticed that the "Gear Unsafe" light seems to stay on a few seconds longer than what I (with my whole 10 hours of Mooney time...) would consider normal. It eventually goes out, but I'm not sure why. I've found myself making "really" sure that the landing gear handle is "REALLY" up by pulling it out and wiggling it and then making "REALLY" sure about 2 or three times that it is "REALLY" in the UP position. Meanwhile I've checked the indicator between the seats and it shows the "red, hey, idiot, the gear is up" indication. And about then, the light goes out. Note that most of the time the "gear up cycle" is about what I'd expect in my 400+ hours of retract time (granted only 10ish hours in the Mooney). It goes like this: move the gear handle up, hear noises for about 5ish seconds, hear a "klunk", see lights or indicators change from "gear down" to "gear up", the end. My Mooney, does the same thing, most of the time. It's just about 3 times now it's done what was described in the first paragraph -- or in other words a delayed gear up indication. Additional notes, I find that I'm fairly consistent: at 80 - 85 knots with positive rate and no more usable runway, I'm selecting gear up. I know for a fact I'm not over speeding the gear when this happens nor have I ever over-sped the gear going up or down. Does anybody have any insight as to what may be going on? Is this normal?
