Turbo Mooney 1982 M20K231 (TTSN 4800) hangared with current annual/IFR, recently factory-remaned engine (TSFRM 130), GAMI, Wastegate, TKS anti-ice (not FIKI), composite MT Prop, Precise flight electric spoilers, Factory 4-place Oxygen, Apollo CNX 80 WAAS GPS/NavCom, Garmin G5 HSI, MFD, 2-axis autopilot with GPS steering. Flown 50-100 hr/year. No known damage aside from minor hail dings. Electric gear and flaps. 2015 acclaim paint, 930 lb useful load. Love this plane but mission has changed so it's time for a new owner. Times may change. Open to fractional partnership if local. Summer flying wrapping up so dropping price.

I have recently been flying a 1979 M20K. At random times we get a warning sound that is not coming through the headset. There is no instrument indicating an anomaly and no lights showing an issue. It happens quite frequently and goes away on its own. Curious to know if anyone has any insight. I know limited information, but any ideas would be appreciated. Luke

I would like to create a couple of different profiles for use with ForeFlight. 75% Power and Economy Cruise ... Cruising Altitude of 9000 feet. Can you share some of your Profiles? Thank you.

Kind of a followup to a question from @M20Doc - I do know there is a screen to check, although I didn't find anything about checking it in the MM; I do know that I need a 7/8" socket / wrench to remove it. What I don't know is: - how tall of a socket will fit? Will I be able to get away with a tall one that will also work on spark plugs, or do I need two? - what torque to set when reinstalling it? - should I wash / rinse the screen with anything? anything I should avoid? (edit: ok, mineral spirits - M-0 says as much) - how many band-aids should I expect to need, or is the Continental easier than the Lycoming? Non-metric tools are harder to source here than metric ones, so if possible I want to get the order right the first time...

https://www.trade-a-plane.com/search?category_level1=Single+Engine+Piston&make=MOONEY&model=M20K+231+MODIFIED&listing_id=2391004&s-type=aircraft# Is this fairly priced? Trying to see if it's a fair price. I noticed that the next annual and IFR cert weren't listed. Engine time seems okay. Engine monitor listed but I couldn't identify it in the pictures. Thoughts? I realize it may already be sold or under contract.

So according to page 2 of the Savvy flight test profiles the GAMI spread flight test on a TC engine is supposed to be run at or below 65% power AND at an altitude where ambient pressure is equal to the MAP (so basically the engine is turbo normalized). So, being the chicken that I am, wanting to do the lean test at 55%, I: - assume ambient pressure is ~30" (QNH) at sea level and changes -1" for every 1000 feet (from the Saavy doc) - look at page 5-20 of the POH and see that for 55% power at 2500 RPM and 6000 feet the MP should be ~24" (30-6) - start leaning, while adding a little MP as it drops (no auto wastegate), then richen, while reducing MP, repeat 3+ times, do LOP mag check If QNH is 32, a high pressure day, I'd need to go up to 8000 ft, if it was 28, on a low pressure day, 4000 ft would have been appropriate, correct? Anything I got very wrong? Anything I am missing? 5-20-rotated.pdf -
Hello everyone, I'm looking at buying a share of a 1984 M20K 231 close to me (ELLX - Luxembourg). But I am surprised at the costs being shown, so I would appreciate some input. Fixed costs (insurance, hangar, CoA, GPS db) are said to be 5000 which seems ok But annual maintenance costs for an annual + 100h + 50h "should not go above 17000 EUR if no major work is done" It seems rather steep to me, but maybe it's me living in wonderland ? Any input appreciated PP
