AD's and Service Bulletin

[Jimhamilton]

I have owned my Mooney for about six months now and I love it.  It was the right fit for my needs (high altitude and speed).  I use it to commute from Salt Lake City and Colorado Springs.  I was just looking through the post here and something caught my attention.  As an owner how are AD's and service bulletins delivered.  Do I need to look for them or is there a mailing list that I do not know about.  How do you get this information?  

Thanks, Jim Hamilton

I go here and click on my model. I was uanaware that they could send them to you.

Thanks, I thought there was a way that you could get on a mailing list or something.  I checked out the site and there does not seem to be to many AD's on the M20K.  Not any to recent anyway.  I guess I should check the engine model too.  Thanks, Jim

Send an email to support@mooney.com with your name, email address and serial number

The Mooney factory will add you to the email list and alert you with new SB/AD's.

At least that's what I was told when I contacted them several weeks ago.

Check out www.adlog.com  .  I have used them for about the last decade.  They provide a complete logbook system.  At annual time they send you hard copies of any ADs that apply.  I find them very helpful with owner assisted annual.  If they save you one hour of IA time each year, you more than cover the cost.

Between faa.gov and Mooney's website, they are all there for free. I'd rather spend the money on avgas.

Yes, there's a cost to the adLog system--about $30/year.  They send ADs on the airframe, engine, prop, and any installed avionics and other items as they're issued throughout the year, and an up-to-date AD list at annual time.  Can you find all that on the FAA web site?  Sure, but it will take a bit of digging.

They also have, IMO, a much better logbook system than the standard little booklets that most owners use--everything's kept together in a single 3-ring binder: the logs themselves, all ADs, 337s, W&B history, oil analysis reports, SBs/SIs, 8130s/yellow tags, etc.  All with color-coded tabs, so it's easy to find.

Note, they don't send out service bulletins, so it's up to you to keep track of them yourself--but they do have a place for them in their binder.  I keep a few relevant SBs in mine, but most I don't bother with.
