glafaille Posted May 20, 2020 Report Posted May 20, 2020 Good day gents: I need to peek at the performance section of a 1966 or so M20E. I checked the download section but couldn’t find the POH/Owners manual for that plane. I need a plane for a twice monthly trip between Prescott Az and East Texas. Found an E model I like but need T/O and climb info for 5000 ft elevation Prescott, and cruise numbers for 10,000 to 15,000 ft or thereabouts. Thanks
carusoam Posted May 21, 2020 Report Posted May 21, 2020 Might want to call your local MSC and get a brand new copy of the most recent printing of the M20E POH...? See if that is a viable method... It is a worthwhile document to have and to hold... if you are going with the M20E... About 100 pages, not very expensive... PP thoughts only, not a CFI... Best regards, -a-
Planegary Posted May 21, 2020 Report Posted May 21, 2020 Here see if this helps. This is photos of my owners Manuel for a 1965 m20E 1
Matt Ward Posted May 21, 2020 Report Posted May 21, 2020 Happy to email you mine if you want to send me your email. I have a 1966 M20E model and am based in Denver (KBJC). I regularly fly in/out of high DA airports and over +12K mountain passes - not a problem at all in the Mooney - you don't even have to do anything right like you do in a lower-powered plane! Let me know if you need it. 2
glafaille Posted May 21, 2020 Author Report Posted May 21, 2020 Thanks gentlemen! What an awesome community!
Ross Taylor Posted May 21, 2020 Report Posted May 21, 2020 Hi @glafaille - we're up the hill from you, in Flag and Williams. Flag is just about 7000' actual with density altitudes of 10k not being uncommon. Our '66 E does just fine up here, so in the lowlands of Prescott you'll be in good shape. (Haha, JK...we love Prescott and my Mooney A&P actually lives in Prescott but has his shop at Williams KCMR. He owns two Mooneys so he'd be a good maintenance option for you.) My seats are out at the moment, as I just got it out of annual and am taking care of a few interior things. And I'm swapping out the failed JPI EDM 700 for a 730. But if you want to see an E now, or fly in a week or so, just let me know. EDIT: because I'm dumb. I saw your "commute from Prescott to East Texas" and presumed you lived in Prescott...then I saw your profile. I'm not as close as I thought. But if you're in AZ, you're still welcome to visit our E
glafaille Posted May 21, 2020 Author Report Posted May 21, 2020 Hi Ross! Thanks for the kind words and info. We will be moving to Prescott this Summer but I will still be doing some work in East Texas a couple of times per month. Trying to avoid the airlines till this virus thing blows away. I need an “inexpensive” way to get to work and back home. I’ll send you a PM. 1
bob865 Posted May 21, 2020 Report Posted May 21, 2020 Attached are the Performance charts from my 1975 M20E. I transcribed these directly from the POH to excel to make them easier to read and use. Mooney Performance Charts.xlsx 1
Immelman Posted May 21, 2020 Report Posted May 21, 2020 The airplane does well at high elevation airports. You will be fine at your average paved mountain airport. The cruise numbers in the POH are lies. 140-150 knots, if the air is smooth.
