HELP! S-Tec 30 POH Supplements and STC Info Needed

[Anzaldi01]

I'm in need of a copy of a STC and POH Supplements for a Short Body Mooney M20C or M20E.  I also need a copy of the Installation instructions for the Short Body Mooney M20 Series as well if anyone has a copy. 

This is for supporting documentation to be submitted for a Field Pre Approval for my M20A with a M20E Wing.  I have already purchased a complete S-Tec 30 system and I'm well on my way to applying for the field approval. 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance!

I know this is an utterly useless post in regard to your aim to acquire STC and POH Supplements, and I wish I could help you.

I am mulling over the options for auto pilots for my '62 C model and am curious about getting a S-Tec system installed and especially the STC transferred to it.  I suppose you are essentially working outside of the STC process, because you are getting field approval.  But I would be curious about any light you could shed on it.  Perhaps a I could get one of the more modern autopilots approved in my early model mooney for which it hasn't been approved by field approval...  (I personally would offer my C model as a test bed for anyone who wants to get an autopilot approved for the early models...  )

Your model is already covered by most of the AP manufacturers so it's not as much of a challenge. 

My Mooney is a M20A with a M20E wing and M20J tail. The wing is actually a one off STC. Basically my aircraft is identical to an early C or E model but the AP Manufacturers can only identify the A by TC and Serial Number. I've consulted with the FAA and they encouraged me to continue with my project based on the configuration of my aircraft. The real issue is S-Tec will not provide any assistance or information even under a field approval. 

The community here has been very helpful in providing information and assistance. I'm just in need of a couple of pieces of information that are likely to be requested before I submit my package for a Field Pre Approval review.

Have you found the STec route to be a bit challenging…?

People have requested STC data after they have bought a used system to find STec will do this for a ton of dough…

The documents you are looking for may be serial number specific…

Will this be a challenge for you on your Project?

There are many STec units in Mooneys around here…

Good luck on your next steps…

Best regards,

The process has been challenging to say the least. 

S-Tec has been less than helpful with my particular case and unfortunately a Field Approval is my only option since no AP manufacturer will be doing an STC for my particular Serial Number. It's a M20A with an E wing. 

I have a complete system now and have done a dry fit for the components all of which meet the prints so physical installation is exactly a "Like Installation" I'm doing the paperwork for a Field Pre Approval and I'm missing some of the documentation that would make the review go more smoothly and could be the difference between approval and denial. 

A copy of a 337 form and STC from an early M20E serial number will include the limitations and continued airworthiness information I need but I will need the POH supplement information as well to support my application.  

I'm sure someone has the information I'm looking for to use as reference but I just haven't connected with them yet. I am working with an IA that has accomplished a number of Field Approvals and he's reviewing my documentation. The FAA representative that I have been consulting with has been very encouraging and feels it should be a relatively easy review under a "Like Installation" since basically I'm identical to an Early model C or E physically. 

Also obtaining a copy of the installation instructions for a S-Tec 30 installation in an early model C or E would be helpful. It's just difficult to find this data outside their Dealer Network. Old Chub on MS has been a great contact that I have made and has provided a lot of help in my quest.

Wish me luck. I'm committed now ($$$$) to making this happen.
