But military could get books with all the tickets being good for any ride Before my time. I'm going by this excerpt from the Wikipedia entry, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_ticket: "The coupons had a face value for use on rides, with an "A" ticket worth $0.10, "B" $0.15, "C" $0.25, "D" $0.50, and "E", $0.85. This meant one could ride any ride if the ticket or a combination of tickets met or exceeded the value of that ride, so one could overpay an "A" ticket ride with a "B" ticket or higher, or present an "A", "C", and "D" ticket together instead of an "E" ticket."

Pinecone Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 OK, like I said, in 1966, I do not recall that being the case. But my last trip was a school trip (private school in SD), and we had a bunch of left over military tickets. So I just had to buy an entry ticket and burn up the unused tickets from previous visits, as my Dad had orders out of the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinecone Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Back on the topic of flap extension, is it possible to install the newer 3 position flap switch? And how much paperwork hassle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PT20J Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 According to Bob Kromer, the 252 is the only Mooney with a higher listed speed for partial flaps. Analysis showed that the flaps and structure could withstand the higher speed - there was no change to the airframe. So, why wasn't this carried forward? Because most new airplanes were being shipped with the optional speed brakes which do a better job of slowing down with no pitch trim change and so a higher partial flap speed was kind of superfluous. There was engineering cost involved to change the TCDS and AFM limitations which require FAA approval and the marketing department didn't care, so they dropped it.

Skip Just to pick a nit or two, the 205 apparently has many of these same 252 changes. This is from our POH on a 1988 205 (M20J): Edited December 14, 2022 by ttflyer pdf to jpeg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except my 252 has lower limits than the 205 so maybe the 205 is more robust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will.iam Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 On further inspection looks like the kcas is within a knot of each other which could very well be within the read error of the instruments. It’s the kias that differs more and i guess that’s just the error from placement and instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My conversation with Bob was about the 205, but somehow I got the 252 in my head when I made the post. So to clarify: It is only the M20J 205 that has the higher partial flap speed. Sorry for the confusion. Skip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the confusion. Skip Boooo i was hoping i had an extra margin of speed buffer at partial flaps. Not that i would deploy them any faster but once i forgot to retract T/O flaps as i was climbing out and got over 112 before i caught the error and retracted them up.
