Oscar Avalle Posted December 16, 2020 Report Posted December 16, 2020 So here I am trying to organize myself for a potential move to Europe. My question now is (I am really grateful for all your inputs) I have a GDL 88 (ADSB in and out) but 967 not 1090 and a transponder mode C. What do I need to fly in Europe? Thank you!!! Oscar Quote
Emmet Posted December 16, 2020 Report Posted December 16, 2020 ADSB out is not required for our Mooneys in Europe, but you need Mode-S.I am not sure if you have to disable the 978 ADSB out. Quote
McMooney Posted December 16, 2020 Report Posted December 16, 2020 I think you may need a radio capable of 8.33khz spacing Quote
tmo Posted December 16, 2020 Report Posted December 16, 2020 For the most part you want Mode-S; I think there is slide-in replacements for the King KT76A, C and KT78A transponders from Trig - the TT31. You will also need at least one radio with 8.33kHz spacing (a GNS430 will do) and possibly label any 25kHz radios "emergency use only". What you will want to avoid is moving the plane to an EASA reg 1 Quote
Philip France 13 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Posted December 16, 2020 You definitively need mode S one not too expensive solution TT31 from Trig Quote
Schinderhannes Posted December 16, 2020 Report Posted December 16, 2020 https://aopa.de/ueber-uns/german-airspace/ I would consider replacing your altimeter with a unit that has hpa settings. A second recommendation would be to look into a FLARM receiver ( https://flarm.com/ ) . You will encounter a lot more gliders in Europe than in the US and many gliders, tow planes, planes are FLARM equipped. Quote

That would be very far down my list of things, especially if keeping the plane N-reg; I have a conversion table from the days of dot matrix printers stuck to my sun visor and you can always ask FIS to convert for you in a pinch. A 8.33kHz radio is most important, a mode S transponder a very close second. You really need both. Quote

(I believe there is an option for that). On the transponder, I will have to look into that... So no, ADSb out 1090 required. Oscar Quote
tmo Posted December 21, 2020 Report Posted December 21, 2020 Yes, a GTN of any variety will be fine for the 8.33kHz channel separation radio requirement (Y in the ICAO flight plan equipment list in box 10). The transponder should really be mode S, but can be plain mode S (I have a King KT-73). You will be able to fly with a mode C only unit, but access to airspace will be restricted. Not worthy of a Mooney ;-) 2 Quote
jlunseth Posted December 27, 2020 Report Posted December 27, 2020 You will probably need to change the frequency spacing for the GTN, check the manual. Quote
tmo Posted December 27, 2020 Report Posted December 27, 2020 TIL (Today I Learned) the newer Garmin boxes don't all do 8.33kHz - for example the GNC355 does NOT do 8.33kHz, you need the GNC355A for that, which costs $700 more. So beware. Quote
Ibra Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 You can look at some here? Also worth getting a read of Part-NCO rules (equivalent to Part91)https://mooneyspace.com/topic/35387-ifr-upgrade-for-m20e/?do=findComment&comment=605062https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/dfu/Part-NCO IR.pdf For ModeS, you will need it for IFR (except in two countries bellow 3000ft), for VFR it depends on country & airspace but high likely you need one, Trig has some offers For 8.33khz radios, you will need one (not two 8.33khz radios and you can keep 25khz as backup), see lettre bellow For now, I think bellow 5700kg is exempt from ads-b in Europe On 12/16/2020 at 1:45 PM, tmo said: What you will want to avoid is moving the plane to an EASA reg @tmo forgot to put it in bold & big size 8-33isg-08-ip04-actionisg4-15-d53915-letter833vcsbelowfl195-easa.pdf 1 Quote

There is a much cheaper/better way: you just change the dial! There are dials, that have hpa and(!) in hg, one little window on the left and another one on the right side. So you don´t need a new altimeter, just an other dial. I had that exchanged still in the US, before I brought my Piper Seneca over here. No big deal! Quote
Carsten Gott Posted August 2, 2021 Report Posted August 2, 2021 ... and what is REALLY important is the 8.33 Mhz spacing. It is compulsory and you will have a hard time understanding when you don´t... You might hear and be heard, but it is illegal and sounds like the old FM tuners with rotary capacitors, when you dialed them slightly off the correct frequency. Quote
