AF M20J Posted March 11, 2023 Report Posted March 11, 2023 Hello fellow Mooneyites! I have a J which is now in Florida after I flew it across the pond last fall and I'm searching (now urgently) for a US-Based EASA airworthiness shop that can inspect it for the annual. Do any of you know anyone who might be able to help? I've called all the major shops I can think of, but no-one does this anymore is what I've heard... I'm hopeful that's not the case! Thanks for any and all tips/help, it will be greatly appreciated. Quote
neilpilot Posted March 11, 2023 Report Posted March 11, 2023 I'm sure you already have looked at the list I've attached, if it's even relevant. Just in case you haven't..... usa_easa_145.pdf Quote

I'll keep digging in, thanks a lot! Quote
GeeBee Posted March 11, 2023 Report Posted March 11, 2023 Banyan at FXE (Ft Lauderdale Exec). It won't be cheap but it will get done. 1 Quote

Just contacted them, thanks @GeeBee UPDATE: Unfortunately, they no longer provide EASA inspections. Edited March 11, 2023 by AF M20J 1 Quote
GeeBee Posted March 12, 2023 Report Posted March 12, 2023 Bummer, did they refer you to anyone who can? Quote
AF M20J Posted March 21, 2023 Author Report Posted March 21, 2023 @GeeBee, unfortunately not. Another contact pointed out Continental Motors outside Mobile, AL, but they just stopped doing EASA inspections last week as well. If anyone else has any suggestions, I'd be really appreciative. Quote
GeeBee Posted March 21, 2023 Report Posted March 21, 2023 Have you called the factory service shop? Quote
Fritz1 Posted March 21, 2023 Report Posted March 21, 2023 I saw an aircraft at weep no more 4 years ago that had dual German and US registration, I am sure Paul Beck remembers the guy who can explain how this works. Flying a European technician over for a Florida vacation and "pre-qualifying" the aircraft with a US annual may be the path of least resistance. Quote

Never heard of this before, would you be willing to elaborate just a bit more? Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your input! Quote
Fritz1 Posted March 28, 2023 Report Posted March 28, 2023 saw a 231 in weep no more shop in spring of 2019 that had US registration taped over German registration, Paul Beck explained to me that the German owner had flown it back and forth across the Atlantic several times and that it had dual registration, flies on US registration in the US and on German registration in Europe, maybe the owner did the US registration and never cancelled the German registration, the legality of this setup is beyond my pay grade, these birds are migratory and pilots are creative by nature Quote
