@Bob R- I would print out the above and be able to work it for your checkride.  

Good luck, let us know how it goes!

RLC,

What Mooney sent you...

The ‘POH’ is the OM.... because POHs weren’t defined by the FAA until years later... .

 

To be super-technical (and give you a lead when playing Trivial Pursuit: Aircraft Edition), the FAA has never defined POH. The FAA refers to an AFM, an FAA approved "Airplane Flight Manual." The Pilot Operating Handbook is a "consensus" format for owner manuals originally created by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association in 1975 to standardize the presentation of both FAA-required and manufacturer-desired Information. The Preface to GAMA Specification No 1 provides much of the background.

There were two manuals that came with the plane. The Pilot Operating Handbook (aka Owners Manual) and the Aircraft Flight Manual.  

The TCDS specifies which Aircraft Flight Manual version needs to be in the plane. 

Interior Equipment:
401. .......FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual

(a) Owners Manual, dated September 3, 1963,(or November, 1965) for S/N 101 through 831, 

(b) Owners Manual, dated March, 1967 for S/N 832 thru 670062 

(c) Flight Manual, dated July, 1968 for S/N 690001 thru 690073 

(d) Flight Manual dated August 21, 1970, for S/N 700001 thru 700061. S/N 21-0001 thru 21-0023 (Aerostar)

Does anyone have a flight manual dated July 1968 they can post?

Looks the same  as my 65' according to TCDS, hope this helps

Ouch.  Looks nothing like my W&B chart with confirmed boundary conditions shown on the TCDS (Rev 58 - 20 Aug 2018) for my '65E as:

  • C.G. Range (+46.5) to (+49.0) at 2575 lbs. 
  • (Landing gear extended)(+42.0) to (+49.0) at 2100 lbs. or less 
  • (Straight line variation between points given). 
  • Retraction moment 588 in. -lb. 

Am I missing something and flying out of acceptable limits?

This one shows arm and the other is calculated moment arm.  Multiply weight times arm from this chart and divide by 1000 and I think it’s the you will see the number on the other chart. Mine looks like this and I find it more intuitive.

@Ned Gravel I did mine several years ago, it matches the on in the POH and the one Mooney sent back then (page1 look for Mark20E_AFM_WTBAL.pdf) the one difference that I can see on my phone is yours is in inches and mine is moment/1000

Got it.  That makes sense.

You are won't believe this. but down in the bowels of this paperwork I have, I found what I was looking for. However I don't have the first couple pages with the equipment list but I have a different equipment list. I think it will get me by. Thanks for all your help I'm going to call Mooney on Tuesday and see if I can't get something from them.

Great discussion though I learned a lot.

Bob

Here's the M20E Approved Flight Manual from Mooney's Technical Publications website. Note the first page states the document must be in the aircraft. I hope this helps.

So I tried to find that document for my M20F on the Mooney website and it doesn’t seem to exist.  I see all the SBs and the weight and balance charts, but no AFM.  Wonder if their copy was lost in one of the closings...

If your looking for the AFM (Airplane Flight Manual), I doubt they exist.. If you look on the TCDS on "F Models" (HERE) the F only has either Owners Manuals or Operating Manuals depending on your year, If you scroll down for the "J's" the list they specify both a POH and the AFM. You might give Mooney a call and see what they say

Ahhh, I’m starting to see why I’d never heard about an AFM for my airplane...

Correction: Above I provided an excerpt from the TCDS concerning the version of manual required for the M20E by SN.  Mooney rev'd the TCDS and I didn't catch the update.  In my case they corrected the name of the document from Owners Manual to FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual.  This matches the title page of the original document that came with my aircraft.  

TCDS Rev 58

Interior Equipment: (See Note 26):
401. ....... FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual
(a)FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual, dated September 3, 1963,(or November, 1965) for S/N 101 through 831
(b)Super 21 Owners Manual, dated March, 1967 for S/N 832 thru 670062
(c)Mooney Chaparral Owners Manual, 1968 for S/N 690001 thru 690073
(d)Mooney Chaparral Owners Manual dated August 21, 1970, for S/N 700001 thru 700061. S/N 21-0001 thru21-0023 (Aerostar)
(e)Mooney Chaparral Owners Manual dated January 1974, for S/N 21-0024 through 21-1160. See NOTE 2.
(f)Mooney Chaparral Owners Manual dated December 1974, for S/N 21-1161 through 21-1180. See NOTE 2.

OK, enough internet stuff... I'm going to the hangar.
