Does anyone else wonder about the Jimmy Garrison M20J value calculator? I have a hard time thinking our 1977 201, 5000 TT with a factory OH 100-hr A3B6 engine is only worth 69,000, while the same airplane with a 1500 hr engine is worth 45K. Excuse me, but, um, no way. Not even close.

Ann another thing, a factory FWF overhaul (35K) costs twice what a hangar overhaul (17K) costs. But you also get the new case, roller cam, separate mags, etc. That isnt the same either, and it should reflect in the appraisal.

I agree. Seems off to me...

Jimmy,

Your thoughts? Why the discrepancy that Byron pointed out occurs?

Byron, you can send a message direct to Jimmy Garrison if you want to. He always has a presence here.

Jimmy makes the best calculator for valueing Mooneys, but apparently it takes some expertise in how to best use /massage it.

My take on it is, it is an estimate builder. If it were more exact, it would have to give you contact info for a potential buyer with financing in place.

Best regards,

Great new edition!

Phil,

Great issue (as usual). Good article on the TFR violation, but you can operate VFR in the outer ring. However, you MUST be on an active flight plan, squawking your assigned code, and in direct two-way comm with ATC. VFR pilots are not grounded, you can get in/out of airports w/in the outer ring BUT you better be filed, talkin', and squawkin'!

Here is the verbage from those pesky VIP TFRs:

"B. For operations within the airspace between the 10 nmr and 30 nmr area(s) listed above, known as the outer ring(s): All aircraft operating within the outer ring(s) listed above are limited to aircraft arriving or departing local airfields, and workload permitting, ATC may authorize transit operations. Aircraft may not loiter. All aircraft must be on an active IFR or VFR flight plan with a discrete code assigned by an air traffic control (ATC) facility. Aircraft must be squawking the discrete code prior to departure and at all times while in the TFR and must remain in two-way radio communications with ATC."

Also no hangin' out in the outer ring in order to do anything useful (like flight training):

"C. THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED WITHIN THIS TFR: FLIGHT TRAINING, PRACTICE INSTRUMENT APPROACHES, AEROBATIC FLIGHT, GLIDER OPERATIONS, SEAPLANE OPERATIONS, PARACHUTE OPERATIONS, ULTRALIGHT, HANG GLIDING, BALLOON OPERATIONS, AGRICULTURE/CROP DUSTING, ANIMAL POPULATION CONTROL FLIGHT OPERATIONS, BANNER TOWING OPERATIONS, SIGHTSEEING OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE TEST FLIGHTS, RADIO CONTROLLED MODEL AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS, MODEL ROCKETRY, UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (UAS), AND UTILITY AND PIPELINE SURVEY OPERATIONS."

Great to hear that the feds were very reasonable with our fellow Mooney driver.

Check those TFRs, expecially if you are flying in a battleground state this week!

Thanks!

I agree. Seems off to me...

I can check my software... could be a glitch...
