andysmith11 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Mooney issued a SB yesterday on the assembly of the trim fitting. It looks like the installation of a plate on the trim fitting may have been installed in the improper order. Mooney is saying it should be inspected before the next flight. Aircraft impacted are M20R # 29-0465 thru 29-0519; M20TN #31-0003 thru 31-0127 SB M20-313 http://www.mooney.com/images/pdfs/sb-pdf/m20_313.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetdriven Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think Trey sad they would petition the FAA for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piloto Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 If the filler plate needs to be relocated it would require removal of the tail section and the tail bottom skin. This is a two days job. José Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Compare the drawings to the photo. The filler plate in question is a shaped 3 dimensional piece. The drawing indicates a flat plate. It looks to me that the assembly drawing does not match the photo. It looks like they cannot be assembled the way the drawing indicates. Let me know your thoughts. I must be missing something Effected airframes: Ovations R29-0465 thru R29-0519 Acclaims TN31-0003 thru TN31-0127 Remember to give your tail a good tug... -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetdriven Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Don't tug on it, it may fall off and then look what you've done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
