Perry There is no such thing in our Mooney's. Google is your friend is finding discussions on this. A google search of "Mooneyspace Zero fuel weight limit" found this thread from 2017 Quote
RobertGary1 Posted December 4, 2019 Report Posted December 4, 2019 Not too many singles have a zero fuel weight limit. Very common in jets and turbo props and some light twins. -Robert 1 Quote

carusoam Posted December 5, 2019 Report Posted December 5, 2019 This question comes up each time a new WnB user comes aboard... Some weight and balance apps ask for data regarding the topic that isn’t taught at the PP level... not ever hearing of the topic, then trying to put data into the app is kind of daunting... Some planes like Mooneys have no limit of what can be put in the plane... as in we have a useful load... the PIC can decide to put passengers and/or fuel in the plane up to that maximum UL... zero fuel weight is like the graduate school level of a weight and balance calculations... So... Perry, I don’t think you will find anything related to zero fuel weight in the Mooney POH because it is not a Mooney limitation... If it is... read the section regarding limitations again... there is plenty of limitations related to fuel. Probably a few paragraphs to be read... Did you come across this question by using WnB or something similar? PP thoughts only, not a CFI... Best regards, -a- 2 Quote
Daneshgari Posted December 5, 2019 Author Report Posted December 5, 2019 Hello all. Thank you for all your feedback. This is my 6th Mooney and maybe the last Mooney in the world? It is the newest Acclaim Ultra out there and is gorgeous. The reason I have never faced this before is the fact as it has been mentioned Mooney doesn’t have “Zero Fuel Weight Limit” Frank at factor just confirmed this. There is a section in the ForeFlight that asks for it and if you don’t plug it in it won’t calculate the W&B. Perry 3 Quote

To overcome the issue with Foreflight and since Mooneys do not have a zero fuel weight, just enter your max gross weight under the zero fuel weight box and you will be in businesses!! Please share some photos of your plane!! 2 Quote
carusoam Posted December 6, 2019 Report Posted December 6, 2019 Wow Perry! Hope you got the ForeFlight WnB thing figured out... Eli covers it pretty well above. Congrats on the new Ultra! Now the important part... SIXTH Mooney! I’m on my second... an Ultra would be my third... Got a pic? Best regards, -a- Quote
Daneshgari Posted December 7, 2019 Author Report Posted December 7, 2019 Thank you guys. It is a gorgeous airplane. I am going to share some pix if the size allow me here. Perry 6 Quote
