brndiar Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Hi, I would like to install AOA indicator on my bird. Does anybody of you installed that gadget? Any experiences/ recommendations? Thanks Milos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpaul Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 I have the CYA 100 in my F and @Bob_Belville has the same in his E. It's a fairly simple install, at least it was for me, I just paid my A&P to install it, and easy calibration. It works really well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have time and I enjoy working on the plane so I snaked the wires out the wing and up to the back of the panel. I located the sensor under the right wing symmetric with the pitot tube on the other side. AGL did the rest, a couple of hours maybe? Except I flew a calibration flight.

Pasturepilot Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 This may be the simplest "AOA" install, although I don't know about how probe-less AOA works. It's something I've been meaning to study up on. https://aerovonics.com/av-20-1?fbclid=IwAR0YorKuB2KvOdM4ToIfwR8I_l1sJ2Gv3L3mWdNDTzZ7ybT48kI4YUcGCaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBDiagMan Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Yeah, the AV20 is what came to mind. It’s inexpensive, easy installation and feature rich. I’ve never been one to desire AOA beyond an attitude indicator, but I have a need for a number of its other features in my little tail dragged. It’s a good value.

carusoam Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Good news... there is a thread around here discussing all of the various AOAi available to Mooneys... Not so good news... The AV20 AOA has not been able to perform properly in Mooneys yet... nice device for all the other good it provides...

gsxrpilot Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 I installed the CYA-100 in my M20C. Worked beautifully. I installed the AV20S in my M20K. Piece of junk. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0TreeLemur Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 If you search the interwebs using: "av-20s site:mooneyspace.com" and you will find a lot of commentary similar to that by @gsxrpilot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DXB Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) If you have an Aspen, you can pay a couple amu for a software unlock, with no external sensor needed. Supposedly this works quite well, even has indications that account for flap position, whereas most others don’t. We hear the AV-20 version of this is not so great. I think the new MAX version will even push the nose down hard for you if it thinks you’re screwing up - oh wait that’s software on a completely different aircraft. ....too soon? I’d really like the idea of a HUD if I were ever to get an AoA sensor - not really an option on my Aspen. For now I think I’ll just leave some decent airspeed margins, not bank steeply at slow speed, not jerk the plane around, and not try to squeeze into any tiny strips in the backcountry.
