tomslupilot Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 I'm trying to find a 1969 M20C AFM... my POH appears to be the owner's manual, operating limitations and weight and balance. Mooney has some AFM pages posted on their website http://www.mooney.com/service-support/afm-supplements-2.html The M20C AFM is posted http://www.mooney.com/images/pdfs/mark20c_afm.pdf but appears to be for earlier year models. For example, the Vne is 200mph versus 189 in that document, Vno is 175 versus 150 in that document... That document refers to non-electrical flaps and movable cowl-flaps. Does anyone have or know where I can find a 1969 Mooney M20C AFM. Thanks,Tom Quote
carusoam Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 Consider getting the 1976 POH. It is appropriate for most M20Cs. It will list your SN on the first ref page. I bought mine from the factory years ago. Start there to support your factory, then try the manual repro people... Best regards, -a- Quote

tomslupilot Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Posted November 11, 2011 Ron... I just sent you an email. My Owner's manual says Manual Number 69-20C-OM-B On the Mooney website, it says it should be part number 1189. I can't find anywhere in the manual that says part number 1189. Does this mean I need to go out and buy a new Owners Manual? I think so, just checking to make sure I'm not missing something here. According to the FAA type certificate data sheet note 13, it says I need the owners manual for a 1969 M20C (no AFM, no POH) http://rgl.faa.gov/regulatory_and_guidance_Library/rgMakeModel.nsf/0/60107bc8954c93a686256c24005b5075/$FILE/2A3.pdf -Tom Quote
danb35 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 On the thumb drive from Mooney, manual number 1189 also has the number of 69-20C-OM-B. I'm pretty sure you've got the right manual. Quote
carusoam Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Legally you need the "owners manual" for your plane since they did not have POHs back in the day.... For wealth of data that applies to your plane, consider getting the most updated POH available for your plane. I purchased both for my 1965 M20C. The owners manual is a hoot. Best regards, -a- Quote
Hank Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 My 70 model came with an Owner's Manual [actually, two of them]. I later acquired a Parts Manual and a Service Manual. Is there an Aircraft Flight Manual with the updated C numbers? 200 Vne; 125/120 Vfe/Vge; etc. It's great fun to read, and apparently the only emergencies that can happen are alternator failure [two long paragraphs], gear failure [a short checklist], PC failure [two short paragraphs] and oh yeah, engine fire ["In case of engine fire, turn cabin heater off." Nothing else to do but shut off the heater.] Quite the mindset, back in the day. Quote
