M20F takeoff and landing performance charts

[cstoffel22]

I am looking at a 1974 M20F for purchase and I live in Colorado, so I am looking to find higher altitude performance numbers to see how well it does at airports 6k feet up to 8k. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to find these performance charts for this F model? Any help is appreciated!

My POH has takeoff and landing data at SL, 2.5K, 5K, and 7.5K feet. It's not super hard to extrapolate from those figures. Climb performance goes up to something like 16K if I recall.

Thanks Bigmo - That is for an F model?

Yep. See if this link works, if not it’s under the downloads section.

F model takeoff and climb data from the Operator's Manual is pasted below.  Note that the takeoff data includes a data point for 7500' at 70 degrees F, which is 10,000' density altitude.  Landing distance is shorter than takeoff distance in all cases.

We've operated an F model out of the Denver area for 20+ years with no complaints.  I've flown it to Leadville, etc.  People who say you'll never go back once you've flown a turbo are generally right, but a lot of dual instruction given in K models hasn't made me dislike our F.  However, we don't do much hardcore traveling due west over the rocks.

Thank you Vance. That helps a lot!
