Peter T Posted February 13, 2018 Report Posted February 13, 2018 Going to be new to Mooney ownership. Am going to want to be involved in owner assisted maintenance. Aircraft in question is a 1993 M20J. Are the manuals specific to year and model? Can I get them free online?Any help is appreciated. If desired, you can email me directly at pthiessen.peter@gmail.com.
Oldguy Posted February 13, 2018 Report Posted February 13, 2018 Welcome aboard! There are both maintenance and parts manuals available from your local Mooney Service Center (MSC) or Mooney International. There is a small charge for them, but they come on a thumb drive and are extremely useful. The J model is what I have and the manuals cover all year of production. When you get some time, fill out your avatar some more and let us know some more about you and your plane. @carusoam should be along shortly to do the semi-official welcome. 2
RobertGary1 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Posted February 13, 2018 Even if you have a different model the J parts manual is good to have. It greatly expands what was depicted from previous versions and many parts are still the same. They must have hired a young excited doc writer. -Robert
Peter T Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) This has been extremely helpful. I am up around Vancouver British Columbia and do not have a local MSC available to me. My AME ( who has been maintaining a 231) and I will do the best we can with what we have. I am glad that there is a large and helpful American Mooney community out there to lean on. I am also interested in having my POH available to me in digital form. Should I have mine scanned and download it or is there one out there for a 93 M20J SN: 24-3287. I believe the POH # is 3202B. Thanks again Edited February 19, 2018 by P. T.

Thanks again I just scanned mine and reprinted it in a half-height note-binder. That way, the original is in safekeeping, and the copy goes in the plane, and I can flip through the pdf whenever I want to online. Each POH is supposed to be tied to a specific plane, so you're not supposed to use generic ones, even if the revision number is the same. Realistically, of course, the only difference is in the weight/balance section and the S/N printed on the cover page.

The afm includes an update for any autopilot, engine monitor, gps etc. it’s very custom to your plane. The STC approval to allow these installs is predicated on you updating the afm -Robert 1

Peter T Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Posted February 20, 2018 Yes I did Clarence, thank you very much. But I had already got what I needed in the way of a service manual and parts catalogue from a post on February 13. If you scroll back up a few you can see. Thanks again for all the help. Peter
