Justincampbell Posted July 26, 2020 Report Posted July 26, 2020 I am the new owner of a 1967 M20C (mark21). I am looking for a downloadable POH. All I can find to download is the 1965 M20C here on the downloads. Anyone have one I can download? Quote
0TreeLemur Posted July 26, 2020 Report Posted July 26, 2020 look in the "Downloads" section of this site. Quote
chriscalandro Posted July 26, 2020 Report Posted July 26, 2020 A POH with your serial number equipment list, weight and balance, and manuals is required equipment. you can find one to download but it won’t be a legal AROW document. Quote

No such thing as a POH in 1967. It was invented in 1975. Before then there were in numbered owner manuals and some individual documents specific to the model, like the ACDS, and some like weight and balance docs, specific to the aircraft. Quote
chriscalandro Posted July 26, 2020 Report Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) There most certainly is a pilots operating book that came with the Mooney It might not have been required until 75(I don’t know the year but I’ll assume you’re correct) but if the airplane still shipped with a manual it is still required equipment. As the manuals were tied to specific serial numbers, you still need the manual specific to your airplane. If one exists it should still be required. I have to look through my 67 manual, but I believe in the manual it states it’s required equipment (I might be wrong here) if you have say, an old cub, where a manual was never written, it’s not required because it never existed. Not the case with the Mooney. Edited July 26, 2020 by chriscalandro Quote
carusoam Posted July 27, 2020 Report Posted July 27, 2020 So... In the tradition of MS... to be legal, and informed... ... and you have a 1967 M20C... Get a copy of... 1) The Owners Manual for 1967... this happy little paperback (about 30 pages) will keep you legal.... 2) The most recent POH for 1977... this actual POH (Has about 100 pages)is not nearly as complete a modern POH (has about 300 pages)... but, it’s as good as it gets... First check the download section of MS... then do a search... then follow up that search with one using google.... Buy a set of manuals directly from Mooney... to do this... contact your MSC... If you don’t have an MSC... one can be assigned to you... Ask Lasar... they are a pretty talented MSC capable of boxing and shipping all things Mooney related... PP thoughts only, not a Mooney expert... Best regards, -a- Quote
carusoam Posted July 27, 2020 Report Posted July 27, 2020 Justin, Find this similar thread... This is an ordinary occurrence that occurs when planes trade hands... Best regards, -a- Quote
RobertGary1 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Posted July 27, 2020 All you need is the owners manual and then all updates required by STC’s installed on your plane. Bind it together and keep it in the plane. -Robert Quote

As the manuals were tied to specific serial numbers, you still need the manual specific to your airplane. I was not speaking of regulation. From a regulation standpoint, if the TCDS required an on-board document, of course it was required. I was being literal. There was no such thing as a "POH" until 1975 when GAMA issued Specification No 1 to make manuals into a standard format. Quote
