I did them once in my M20C with a CFI. He was actually the owner of the flight school with lots of instructors. He was showing me how to perform the maneuver and blew right past VNE. He said he was surprised at how slippery the Mooney was.

One of the benefits of a Mooney CFI. I did mine at a MAPA PPP [my second one]--they're the best! Amazing the things you see, hear, do and learn when you go to one.

Went up with a CFI early this morning to start this process of learning the commercial maneuvers in my 252. I'm still "interviewing" CFI's so this was a bit of a trial run. I asked him to teach me the

I teach to lower the gear upon pulling power. Get that costly variable dealt with. The rest of the power off 180 is simply energy management, which is what it is supposed to be teaching you. There are

What @mike_elliott said. I pull the power and drop the gear. Those are the only two prerequisites for the maneuver, so then all that's left is to hit the right spot. I've got geometry, pitch, flaps, slips, and speed brakes to help me hit it. That's plenty of tools so no need to complicate things with the gear. At least that's what I'm practicing and it seems to be working out pretty well.

Thanks!  I'll try that next time I have decent temperatures and ceilings.  So, maybe mid-April.

All the maneuvers are described in FAA-H-8083-3B "The Airplane Flying Handbook."   This is one of the references that all the written test questions derive from.  It's inexpensive and you can also download  PDF from the FAA website for FREE.

It's on my iPad. I thought the written test was not difficult. I did use Sheppard to prep for it.
