GARMIN G1000 GENERAL

TheGARMING1000 IntegratedAvionics System is a fully integrated flight, engine, communica-tion, navigation and surveillance instrumentation system. The system consists of a PrimaryFlight Display (PFD), Multi--Function Display (MFD), audio panel (GMA), Air Data Computer(ADC), Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), engine/airframe processing unit(GEA), and integrated avionics (GIA) containing VHF communications, VHS navigation, andGPS navigation.

-WARNING-Do not load a new arrival or departure procedure in the flight plan if one currentlyexists without first removing the existing arrival or departure procedure. Failingto observe this limitation can cause erroneous course deviation indications, loss

of GPS navigation information, and other display anomalies.

NOTE:If display anomalies are noted after editing the flight plan, perform either a directto or activate leg operation as appropriate on the flight plan to ensure correct

flight plan sequencing and guidance.

The primary function of the PFD is to provide attitude, heading, air data, navigation, and alertinginformation to the pilot. ThePFDmayalso beused for flight planning. The primary function of theMFD is to provide engine information, mapping terrain information and for flight planning. Theaudio panel is used for selection of radios for transmitting and listening, intercom functions, andmarker beacon functions.

The primary function of theVHFCommunication portion of theG1000 is to enable external radiocommunication. The primary function of the VOR/ILS Receiver portion of the equipment is toreceive and demodulate VOR, localizer, and Glide Slope signals. The primary function of theGPS portion of the system is to acquire signals from the GPS satellites, recover orbital data,make range and Doppler measurements, and process this information in real time to obtain theuser’s position, velocity, and time.

Provided the GARMIN G1000 GPS receivers are receiving adequate and usable GPS and/orVHFnavigation signals, it has been demonstrated capable of andmeets the accuracy specifica-tions for the following types of flight operations:

VFR/IFRen--route, oceanic, and terminal operationsaswell asnonprecision instrumentapproach (GPS, Loran--C, VOR, VOR--DME, TACAN,NDB,NDB--DME,RNAV) opera-tion within the U.S. National Airspace System in accordance with AC20--138A.

Navigation in the North Atlantic Minimum Navigation Performance Specification(MNPS) Airspace in accordance with AC91--49 and AC 120--33.

The GARMIN G1000 system meets RNP5 airspace (BRNAV) requirements of AC90--96 and in accordance with AC 20--138A, JAA AMJ 20X2 Leaflet 2 Revision 1, andFAAOrder 8110.60 for oceanic and remote airspace operations, provided it is receivingusable navigation information from the GPS receiver. (A separate software applicationfor prediction ofGPSnavigation availabilitymay be required for oceanic and remote op-erations. Refer to appropriate limitations for the airspace you are operating in to deter-mine if this GPS prediction software is required).

Navigation is accomplished using theWGS--84 (NAD--83) coordinate reference datum.GPS navigation data is based upon use of only the Global Positioning System (GPS)operated by the United States of America.

INTRODUCTION

SECTION II includes themandatory operating limitations, instrument markings, and basic plac-ards necessary for the safe operation of the airplane, its engine, standard systems and standardequipment.

The limitations included in this section have been approved by the Federal Aviation Administra-tion.

When applicable, limitations associated with optional systems or equipment such as autopilotsare included in SECTION IX.

NOTE:The airspeeds listed in the Airspeed Limitations chart (Figure 2-1) and the Air-speed Indicator Markings chart (Figure 2-2) are based on Airspeed Calibrationdata shown in SECTION V with the normal static source. If the alternate staticsource is being used, ample margins should be observed to allow for the air-

speed calibration variations between the normal and alternate static sources asshown in SECTION V.

YourMooney is certificated under FAATypeCertificateNo. 2A3 as aMooneyM20ROVATION2GX.

4. Instrument approach navigation predicated upon the G1000 GPS Receiver must be accom-plished in accordance with approved instrument approach procedures that are retrievedfrom theGPSequipment database. TheGPSequipment databasemust incorporate the cur-rent update cycle.

a.) Instrumentapproachesutilizing theGPSreceivermust beconducted in theapproachmodeand Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) must be available at the Final Ap-proach Fix.

b.)Accomplishment of ILS, LOC, LOC--BC, LDA, SDF,MLS or any other type of approach notapproved for GPS overlay with the G1000 GPS receiver is not authorized.

c.)Use of the G1000 VOR/ILS receiver to fly approaches not approved for GPS require VOR/ILS navigation data to be valid on the PFD display.

d.)Whenan alternate airport is required by the applicable operating rules, it must be served byan approach based on other than GPS navigation, the aircraft must have the operationalequipment capable of using that navigation aid, and the required navigation aid must be op-erational.

e.)VNAV informationmaybeutilized for advisory informationonly.UseofVNAV information forInstrument Approach Procedures does not guarantee step--down fix altitude protection, orarrival at approach minimums in a normal position to land. VNAV also does not guaranteecompliance with intermediate altitude constraints between the top of descent and the way-point where the VNAV path terminates in terminal or enroute operations.

5. If not previously defined, the followingdefault settingsmust bemade in the “SYSTEMSETUP”menu of the G1000 prior to operation (refer to Pilot’s Guide for procedure, if necessary).

a.) DIS, SPD…..nmkt (sets navigation units to “nautical miles” and “knots”)

b.) ALT, VS……..ft fpm (sets altitude units to “feet” and “feet per minute”)

c. MAP DATUM….WGS 84 (sets map datum to WGS--84, [see note below])

d. POSITION……..deg--min (sets navigation grid units to decimal minutes) example:dd.mm.ss: 45_ 30’ 30” in decimal minutes are: 45_ 30.5’

NOTE:In some areas outside the United States, datums other than WGS--84 or NAD--83may be used. If the G1000 is authorized for use by the appropriate Airworthinessauthority, the required geodetic datum must be set in the G1000 prior to its use

for navigation.

6. Operation is prohibited north of 70o N and south of 70o S latitudes. In addition, operation isprohibited in the following two regions:

a.) North of 65o N between 75o W and 120oW longitude and

b.) South of 55o S between 120o E and 165o E longitude.

--CAUTION--CDI automatic source switching to the ILS on Nav 1 or 2 must be set to manual forinstrument approaches conducted with the autopilot coupled. If the CDI navigationsource is changed when autopilot is engaged in GPSS mode, the S-Tec 55x autopilotlateral mode will revert to wings level mode and indicate GPSS FAIL. NAV mode must

be manually reselected by the pilot in order to track the ILS or Localizer.

7.Display of autopilot operationalmodeon thePFD is supplemental to thedatawhich is present-ed on the display of the S--Tec 55X autopilot control unit.

ADVISORY MESSAGES

TheG1000Cockpit ReferenceGuide and theG1000Pilot’s Guide contain detailed descriptionsof the annunciator system and all advisory messages. Thesemessages appear on the PFD forflight crew awareness.

The following warnings and cautionsmay appear in various locations on the PFD orMFD. Con-sult theG1000CockpitReferenceGuideand theG1000Pilot’sGuide for detaileddescriptionsofeach annunciation as necessary.

ANNUNCIATION CAUSE

AHRS Aligning – Keep Wings LevelAttitude and Heading Reference System isaligning. Keep wings level using standby

attitude indicator.

ATTITUDE FAIL

Display system is not receiving attitude ref-erence information from the AHRS; accom-panied by the removal of sky/ground pre-

sentation and a red X over the attitude area.

AIRSPEED FAIL

Display system is not receiving airspeed in-put from the air data computer; accompa-nied by a red X through the airspeed dis-

play.

ALTITUDE FAIL

Display system is not receiving airspeed in-put from the air data computer; accompa-nied by a red X through the altimeter dis-

play.

VERT SPEED FAIL

Display system is not receiving verticalspeed input from the air data computer; ac-companied by a red X through the vertical

speed display.

HDGDisplay system is not receiving valid head-ing input from the AHRS; accompanied by ared X through the digital heading display.

Red X

A red X through any display field, such asCOM frequencies, NAV frequencies, or en-gine data, indicates that display field is not

receiving valid data.

INTRODUCTION

This section provides the recommended procedures to follow during adverse flight conditions.The information is presented to enable you to form, in advance, a definite plan of action forcoping with the most probable emergency situations which could occur in the operation of yourairplane.

As it is not possible to have a procedure for all types of emergencies that may occur, it is thepilot’s responsibility to use sound judgement based on experience and knowledge of the aircraftto determine the best course of action. Therefore, it is considered mandatory that the pilot readthe entire manual, especially this section before flight.

When applicable, emergency procedures associated with optional equipment such as Autopi-lots are included in SECTION IX.

NOTE:All airspeeds in this section are indicated (IAS) and assume zero instrument error

unless stated otherwise.

GARMIN G1000 ANNUNCIATION

If GARMIN G1000 GPS navigation information is not available or invalid, utilize remaining op-erational navigation equipment as required.

If the ”POSNERROR” annunciation is displayed the systemwill flag and no longer provideGPSbased navigational guidance. The crew should revert to the G1000 VOR/ILS receivers or an al-ternate means of navigation other than the G1000 GPS receivers.

If the ”POSN ERROR” annunciation is displayed in the enroute, oceanic, terminal, or initial ap-proach phase of flight, continue to navigate using the GPS equipment or revert to an alternatemeans of navigation other than the G1000 GPS receiver appropriate to the route and phase offlight. When continuing to useGPSnavigation, positionmust be verified every 15minutes usingthe G1000 VOR/ILS receiver or another IFR--approved primary navigation system.

--CAUTION--If the “POSN ERROR” annunciation is displayed while on the final approach segment(between the Final Approach Fix and the Missed Approach Point), GPS based naviga-tion will continue for up to 5 minutes with approach CDI sensitivity set at 0.3 nauticalmile. It is recommended that the pilot initiate the missed approach upon receipt of thismessage from the G1000. Navigation guidance will continue for 5 minutes allowingthe pilot to initiate the missed approach while maintaining course guidance on thefinal approach course. Then the system will flag and no longer provide course guid-ance with approach sensitivity. Missed approach course guidance may still be avail-able with 1 nautical mile CDI sensitivity by executing the missed approach. This is

typically caused by the GPS sensor’s inability to provide adequate horizontal positionaccuracy for the final approach segment. It is possible, however unlikely, that theGPS position may degrade to the point where terminal operations cannot be sup-ported for the missed approach segment. Navigate using other primary navigation

equipment (VOR receivers, etc.) if this occurs.

In an in--flight emergency, depressing and holding the Comm transfer button for 2 seconds willselect the emergency frequency of 121.500 MHz, and will show it in the ”Active” frequency win-dow.

TheAttitude,HeadingandReferenceSystem (AHRS) requires at least oneGPSorair data inputto function properly. In the unlikely event that both GPS position sources fail, and the air datacomputer fails, the AHRS will subsequently lose attitude and heading and the pilot will be re-quired to use the standby instrumentation. In this instance, the PFD will not provide altitude,airspeed, attitude, or navigation information

TEMPERATURES MAY CAUSE LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE.

POWER LOSS -- PRIMARY ENGINE INDUCTION AIR SYSTEM BLOCKAGE

Blockage of the primary engine induction air systemmay be experienced as a result of flying incloud or heavy snow with cold outside air temperatures (0oC or below). At these temperatures,very small water droplets or solid ice crystals in the air may enter the primary engine inductioninlet in cowl opening and travel inside inlet duct to the induction air filter. Ice particles or waterdroplets may collect and freeze on the air filter causing partial or total blockage of the primaryengine induction system.

If primary induction air system blockage occurs, the alternate engine induction air system willautomatically open, supplying engine with an alternate air source drawn from inside the cowlingrather than through the air filter. The alternate air system can also be manually opened at anytime by pulling the control labeledALTERNATEAIR. Automatic ormanual activation of the alter-nate induction system is displayed in the cockpit by the illumination of the ALT AIR light in themain annunciator panel.Whenoperatingon thealternate air system, availableenginepowerwillbe less for a given propeller RPM compared to the primary induction air system. This is due toloss of ram effect and induction of warmer inlet air.

The following check list should be used if a partial power loss due to primary induction air sys-tem blockage is experienced:

ENGINE DRIVEN FUEL PUMP FAILURE

--WARNING--

When operating engine at moderate power with “HIGH BOOST” ON and engine drivenfuel pump has failed, engine may quit or run rough when manifold pressure is re-

duced, unless manually leaned.

An engine driven fuel pump failure is probable when engine will only operate with HIGHBOOSTpump ON. Operation of engine with a failed engine driven fuel pump and auxiliary fuel pumpHIGH BOOST ON will require smooth operation of engine controls and corresponding mixturechange when throttle is repositioned or engine speed is changed. When retarding throttle orreducing engine speed, adjust mixture to prevent engine power loss from an overrich condition.Enrich mixture when opening throttle or increasing engine speed to prevent engine power lossfrom a lean condition. Always lean to obtain a smooth running engine.

The following procedure should be followedwhen a failed engine driven fuel pump is suspected:

If power must be re-established to navigation equipment to continue flight: If the faulty compo-nent canbedetermined, pull theassociatedcircuit breaker if not trippedalready.Donot close theopen breaker to re--establish power to the failed circuit.

If the faulty component cannot be determined, pull all essential circuit breakers, switch theMas-ter switch ON and Alternator switch ON; then close circuit breakers one at a time. Permit a shorttime to elapse before closing the next circuit breaker.

EMERGENCY DESCENT PROCEDURE

In the event an emergency descent from high altitude is required, rates of descent of at least3,000 feet per minute can be obtained in two different configurations:

1. With landing gear and flaps retracted, an airspeed of 194 KIASwill be required for maximumrate of descent.

2. With the landing gear extended and flaps retracted an airspeed of 164 KIAS will also giveapproximately the same rate of descent. At 164 KIAS and the gear extended, the angle ofdescent will be greater, thus resulting in less horizontal distance traveled than a descent at194 KIAS. Additionally, descent at 164 KIAS will provide a smoother ride and less pilot workload.

THEREFORE; The following procedure is recommended for an emergency descent:

Turn back or change altitude to obtain an outside air temperature less conducive to icing.

Move propeller control to maximum RPM to minimize ice build--up on propeller blades. If icebuilds up or sheds unevenly on propeller, vibrationwill occur. If excessive vibration is noted,mo-mentarily reduce engine speed with propeller control to bottom of GREEN ARC, then rapidlymove control FULL FORWARD.

NOTE:Cycling RPM flexes propeller blades and high RPM increases centrifugal force

which improves propeller capability to shed ice.

As ice builds on the airframe, move elevator control fore and aft slightly to break any ice buildupthat may have bridged gap between elevator horn and horizontal stabilizer.

Watch for signs of induction air filter blockage due to ice build--up; increase throttle setting tomaintain engine power.

NOTE:If ice blocks induction air filter, alternate air system will open automatically.

With ice accumulation of 1/4 inch or more on the airframe, be prepared for a significant increasein aircraft weight and drag. This will result in significantly reduced cruise and climb performanceand higher stall speeds. Plan for higher approach speeds requiring higher power settings andlonger landing rolls.

--CAUTION--Stall warning system may be inoperative.

NOTE:The defroster may not clear ice from windshield. If necessary open pilot’s storm

window for visibility in landing approach and touchdown.

With ice accumulations of 1 inch or less, use nomore than 15owing flaps for approach and land-ing. For ice accumulation of 1 inch or more, fly approaches and landing with flaps retracted tomaintain better pitch control. Fly approach speed at least 15 knots faster than normal, expect ahigher stall speed, resulting in higher touchdownspeedwith longer landing roll. Use normal flareand touchdown technique.

Missed approaches SHOULD BE AVOIDED whenever possible because of severely reducedclimb performance. If a go-around is mandatory, apply full power, retract landing gear when ob-stacles are cleared; maintain 90 KIAS and retract wing flaps.

S Open outside handle fully.S Close inside RED handle to engage pin into cam slide of latch mechanism.S Place lock pin in shaft hole to hold RED handle DOWN.S Replace cover.S CHECK & operate outside handle in normal manner.

SPINS

--WARNING--Up to 2,000 ft. altitude may be lost in a one turn spin and recovery;

STALLS AT LOW ALTITUDE ARE EXTREMELY CRITICAL.

NOTE:The best spin avoidance technique is to avoid flight conditions conducive to spinentry. Low speed flight near stall should be approached with caution and exces-sive flight control movements in this flight regime should be avoided. Should anunintentional stall occur, the aircraft should not be allowed to progress into adeep stall. Fast, but smooth stall recovery will minimize the risk of progressinginto a spin. If an unusual post stall attitude develops and results in a spin, quick

application of antispin procedures should shorten the recovery.

INTENTIONAL SPINS ARE PROHIBITED

In the event of an inadvertent spin, the following recovery procedure should be used:

TAKEOFF

Proper engine operation should be checked early in the takeoff roll. Any significant indication ofroughor sluggishengine response is reason to discontinue takeoff. When takeoffmust bemadeover a gravel surface, it is important that the throttle be applied SLOWLY. This will allow the air-craft to start rollingbeforehighRPMisdeveloped, andgravel or loosematerialwill beblownbackfrom the propeller area instead of being pulled into it.

TAKEOFF (HIGH ALTITUDE)

For maximum engine power, the mixture should be adjusted during the initial takeoff roll to thetop of the white BAR on the EGT. The power increase is significant above 3000 feet and thisprocedure should always be employed for field elevations greater than 5000 feet above sea lev-el.

NOTE:If maximum performance takeoffs are desired obtain full power before brake re-

lease. Use lift off and climb speed as specified in Section V.

OXYGEN SYSTEM(OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT)

--WARNING--Greasy lipsticks and waxed mustaches have been known to ignite spontaneously in-

side oxygen masks. Passengers should be suitably advised prior to flight.

For safety reasons NO SMOKING should be allowed in the airplane while oxygen isbeing used.

When ready to use the oxygen system, proceed as follows:

Mask and Hose SELECT -- either MIC or STD. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Adjust mask to face and adjust metallic nose strap for snug mask fit. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Delivery Hose PLUG INTO OUTLET assigned to that seat. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

--WARNING--

Proper oxygen flow is critical to pilot/passenger safety, especially at altitudes above20,000 ft. MSL. It is important to closely monitor the face mask hose flow indicator toensure oxygen is constantly flowing to the mask. A GREEN indication on the flow in-dicator denotes proper oxygen flow. Always place the flow indicator in a position

where it is in the normal scan area of the cockpit. Refer to duration chart (Fig. 7-12 &Fig. 7-13, SECTION VII) for safe operational quantities.

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this section is to present the owner or operator with information needed to facili-tate planning of flights with reasonable accuracy.

The Performance Data and charts presented herein are calculated, based on actual flight testswith the airplane and engine in good condition and the engine power control system properlyadjusted.

The flight test data has been corrected to International Standard Atmosphere conditions andthenexpandedanalytically to cover various airplanegrossweights, operating altitudes, andout-side air temperatures.

VARIABLES

It is not possible tomakeallowances in the charts for varying levels of pilot technique, proficiencyor environmental conditions. Mechanical or aerodynamic changes are not authorized becausethey can affect the performance or flight characteristics of the airplane. The effect of such thingsas soft runways, sloped runways,windsaloft or airplane configuration changesmust beevaluat-edby thepilot.However, theperformanceon the charts canbeduplicated by following the statedprocedures in a properly maintained MOONEY M20R OVATION 2 GX.

Examples are given to show how each chart is used. The only charts with no example are thosewhere such an example of use would be repetitive.

To obtain effect of altitude and OAT on aircraft performance:

1. Set altimeter to 29.92 and read “pressure altitude”.

2.Using theOATgrid for the applicable chart read the corresponding effect ofOATonperfor-mance.

--CAUTION--Be sure to return to local altimeter setting in calculating aircraft elevation above sea

level.

OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES FOR MAXIMUM FUEL EFFICIENCY

For maximum fuel efficiency on theM20ROVATION 2GX, proper mixture leaning during cruiseflight must be accomplished. The TCM IO--550--G(6) engine in the M20R OVATION 2 GX hasbeen designed to attainmaximum fuel efficiency at desired cruise power. Best powermixture (at2400 RPM) has been determined to be 50oF (10oC) rich of peak EGT. EGT is usually a moreaccurate indication of engine operation and fuel burn than indicated fuel flow. Therefore, it is rec-ommended that the mixture be set using EGT as the primary reference instead of setting to aparticular fuel flow.

The followingprocedures is recommended for setting cruisepowerand leaning to best economyat 75% power or less.

1. After leveling off, set manifold pressure and RPM for the desired cruise power settings asshown in this SECTION. At this point, mixture is at full rich from the climb.

2.Slowlymovemixture control toward leanwhile observing EGT indicator. If leaningmixturetoward peak EGT causes the original manifold pressure setting to change, adjust throttle tomaintain that desired cruisemanifold pressure and continue leaning until best economy set-ting is obtained.

PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS

RANGE and ENDURANCE ASSUMPTIONS

Range and endurance allowance is based on climbing at maximum continuous power to cruisealtitude.

Rangeandendurance reserves of 45minutes at cruise power havebeenallowed for.Other con-

ditions used for Range and Endurance are listed on each chart.

OPTIONAL PROPELLER DE--ICE BOOTS

With the optional propeller de--ice boots installed, expect climb performance to be degradedapproximately 50 FPM from what is presented in the manual.

LANDING GEAR DOORS

When snow and ice are likely to be present on taxi and runway surfaces, inboard landing geardoors should be removed. Accumulation of ice and snow could prevent landing gear operation.

If inboard landing gear doors are removed, a decrease in cruise speed and range can be ex-pected and should be considered in preflight planning. To be conservative the following figuresshould be used:

Decrease of true airspeed at normal cruise power setting by approximately 5 KTAS.

Anapproximateadjustment to rangedata shown in thismanual canbemadebasedon flight timeplanned with landing gear doors removed from aircraft. For example, using the above cruisespeed decrease for a 5 hour flight will result in a decrease in range of approximately 25 N.M.:

5 HR X 5 KTS = 25 N.M. reduction in range.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

--CAUTION--Zero wind conditions seldom occur. In addition, varying atmospheric conditions, air-craft weight, mechanical condition of the aircraft and piloting techniques all affect the

actual flight time and fuel used during a flight.It is the pilot’s responsibility to determine the actual operating conditions and plan

the flight accordingly.

Performance with the Hartzell three-blade PHC--J3YF--1RF/F7693DF(B)--2 propellerand A--2295--10(P) Spinner installed is as follows:

In addition, procedures are provided for calculating the empty weight andmoment of the aircraft when the removal or addition of equipment results in changes to theempty weight and center of gravity. A comprehensive list of all Mooney equipment available forthis airplane is included in this section. Only those items checked (X) were installed at Mooneyand are included in the empty weight--and--balance data.

The aircraft owner and/or pilot, has the responsibility of properly loading the aircraft for safeflight. Data presented in this sectionwill enable you to carry out this responsibility and insure thatyour airplane is loaded to operatewithin theprescribedweight and center--of--gravity limitations.

At the time of delivery, Mooney Aircraft Company, Inc. provides the empty weight and center ofgravity data for the computation of individual loadings. (The empty weight and C.G. (gearextended) as delivered from the factory is tabulated on page 6--6 when this manual is suppliedwith the aircraft from the factory.)

FAA regulations also require that any change in the original equipment affecting the empty-weight andcenter of gravity be recorded in theAircraft LogBook.Aconvenient form formaintain-ing a permanent record of all such changes is provided on page 6--6. This form, if properlymain-tained, will enable you to determine the current weight--and--balance status of the airplane forload scheduling. The weight--and--balance data entered as your aircraft left the factory, plus therecord you maintain on page 6--6, is all of the data needed to compute loading schedules.

Themaximum certificated gross weight for the TCMpoweredM20ROVATION 2GX is 3368 lbs(1528 Kg) for Takeoff and 3200 pounds (1452 Kgs) for Landing. Maximum useful load is deter-mined by subtracting the corrected aircraft empty weight from its maximum gross weight. Theaircraft must be operated strictly within the limits of the Center--of--Gravity Moment Envelopeshown on page 6--10.

AIRPLANE WEIGHING PROCEDURE

LEVELING

Place a spirit level on the leveling screws above the tailcone left access door when leveling theaircraft longitudinally. Level the aircraft by increasing or decreasing air pressure in the nosewheel tire.

WEIGHING

To weigh the aircraft, select a level work area and:

1.Check for installation of all equipment as listed in theWeight &BalanceRecordEquipmentList.

2. Top off both wing tanks with full fuel. Subtract usable fuel, 89.0 U.S. gals. (336.9 liters) @5.82 lb/gal (100LL) (.69 Kg/l) = 593.6 lbs. (266.4 Kgs.), from total weight as weighed.

OPTIONAL METHOD -- Ground aircraft and defuel tanks as follows:

a.Disconnect fuel line at fuel system union located forward of the firewall on the lowerleft hand side.

b. Connect a flexible line to output fitting that will reach fuel receptacle.

c. Turn fuel selector valve to tank to be drained; remove filler cap from fuel filler port.

d. Turn on fuel boost pump until tank is empty.

REPEAT STEPS C. AND D. TO DRAIN OTHER TANK.

e. Replace 3.0 gallons (11.4 liters) fuel into each tank (unusable fuel).(Use 5.82lb/gal. (.69 Kg/liter) for 100LL fuel).

f. Replace filler caps.

3. Fill oil tank to capacity (8 qts.).

4. Position front seats in full forward position.

5. Position flaps in full up position.

6. Position a 2000--pound (907.2 Kg.) capacity scale under each of the three wheels.

7. Level aircraft as previously described making certain nose wheel is centered.

8.Weigh the aircraft and deduct any tare from each reading.

9.Find reference point by dropping a plumbbob fromcenter of nose gear trunnion (retractingpivot axis) to the floor. Mark the point of intersection.

10. Locate centerline of nose wheel axle and main wheel axles in the same manner.

11.Measure the horizontal distance from the reference point to main wheel axle center line.Measure horizontal distance from centerline of nose wheel axle to center line of main wheelaxles.

12. Record weights and measurements, and compute basic weight and CG as follows onnext page:

NOTE:Wing Jack Points are located at Fus. Sta. 56.658 in. (143.91 cm). Nose Jack Pointis located at Fus. Sta. - 5.51 in. (-- 14.0 cm.). Refer to SECTION VIII, Jacking, for

procedures.

PILOT’S LOADING GUIDE

LOADING CALCULATION PROCEDURE

Proper loading of the aircraft is essential for maximum flight performance and safety. Thissectionwill assist you indeterminingwhether theaircraft loadingschedule iswithin theapprovedweight and center--of--gravity limits.

To figure an actual loading problem for your aircraft, proceed as follows:

Step 1. Refer to the latest entry on page 6--6 for the current empty weight and moment.

NOTE:Since the engine oil is normally kept at the full level, the oil weight and moment isincluded in basic empty weight and is constant in calculating all loading prob-

lems.

Step 2. Note the pilot’s weight and the position his seat will occupy in flight. Find this weight onthe left scale of the Loading Computation Form (page 6--9) and cross the graph horizontally tothe graph for #1 and #2 seats. When this point is located, drop down to the bottom scale to findthe value of the moment/1000 due to the pilot’s weight and seat position.

Repeat procedure for co--pilot and enter these weights and moment/1000 values in the propersub--columns in the Problem Form on page 6--8/9.

Step3.Proceedas inStep2 to account for thepassengers in seats 3and4.Enter theweight andvalue of moment/1000 in the proper columns.

Step4.Again proceedas inStep 2 to account for the amount of fuel carried, andenter theweightand moment/1000 values in the proper columns.

Step 5.Once more proceed as in Step 2 to account for the baggage to be carried and enter thefigures in the proper columns.

Step 6. Total the weight columns. This total must be 3368 Pounds (1528 Kg) or less. Total theMoment/1000 column.

DO NOT FORGET TO SUBTRACT NEGATIVE NUMBERS.

Step 7. Refer to the Center--of--Gravity Moment Envelope (page 6--10). Locate the loadedweight of your airplane on the left scale of the graph and trace a line horizontally to the right.Locate the total moment/1000 value for your airplane on the bottom scale of the graph and tracea line vertically above this point until the horizontal line for weight is intersected. If the point ofintersection is within the shaded area, your aircraft loading is acceptable. If the point of intersec-tion falls outside the shaded area, you must rearrange the load before take off.

INTRODUCTION

Acquiring a working knowledge of the aircraft’s controls and equipment is one of your importantfirst steps in developing a fully efficient operating technique. This Airplane and SystemsSectiondescribes location, function, and operation of systems’ controls and equipment. It is recom-mended that you, the pilot, familiarize yourself with all controls and systems while sitting in thepilot’s seat and rehearsing the systemsoperations and flight procedures portions of thismanual.

AIRFRAME

The M20R OVATION 2 GX is an all metal, low wing, high performance airplane. The fuselagehas awelded, tubular--steel cabin frame coveredwith non--structural aluminumskins. Access tothe cabin is provided by a door located on the right side of the fuselage. A door is provided aft ofthe rear seat for access to the baggage compartment. The aft fuselage, tailcone, is of semi--monocoque construction.

Seating in the cabin is provided for the pilot and three passengers.

TheM20ROVATION2GXhas a tapered, full--cantilever, laminar--flow typewing. The airfoil var-ies from a NACA 632--215 at the wing root to a NACA 641--412 at the wing tip, modified by aninboard leading edge cuff.

An aerodynamically designed cover is attached to thewing tip and contains thewing navigation,anti--collision and optional recognition lights. Wrap--around stretched formed skins cover thewing; flush riveting is used on the forward, top and bottom two thirds of thewing chord to providebenefit of laminar flow aerodynamics.

The empennage consists of the vertical and horizontal stabilizer assembly and the rudder andelevator surfaces. The entire empennage pivots around attaching points on the aft fuselage toprovide pitch attitude trim.

The tricycle landing gear allows maximum vision and ground maneuvering. Hydraulic discbrakes and a steerable nose wheel aid in directional control during taxiing and ground opera-tions. The landing gear is electrically retracted and extended. A gear warning VOICE ALERT, agear position indicator on the floorboard and a green “GEARDOWN” light help prevent in adver-tent gear-up landings. A manual emergency gear extension system is provided in the event ofelectrical failure.

FLIGHT CONTROLS DESCRIPTION

The aircraft has dual flight controls and can be flown from either the pilot or co--pilot seat. Dualpairs of foot pedals control rudder and nosewheel steeringmechanisms. Push--pull tubes, rath-er than conventional cable/pulley systems, actuate all--metal flight control surfaces. Rod--endbearings are used through out the flight control systems. These bearings are simple and requirelittle maintenance other than occasional lubrication. Specially designed aluminum-- alloy extru-sions, that permit flush skin attachment, form the leading edges of the rudder and elevators. Aspring--loaded interconnect device indirectly joins aileronand rudder control systems toassist inlateral stability during flightmaneuvers. Longitudinal pitch trim is achieved through a trim controlsystem that pivots the entire empennage around tailcone attachment points. A variable down--spring located in the tailcone and a bobweight located forward of the control column help createdesirable stability characteristics.

AILERON SYSTEM

The ailerons are of all--metal construction with beveled trailing edges. Three hinges ofmachined, extruded aluminum attach each aileron to aft wing spar outboard of wing flaps. Theailerons link to the control wheel through push--pull tubes and bellcranks. Counterweights bal-ance the system.

AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL ORIGINAL ISSUE -- 12-11-07

RUDDER SYSTEM

The rudder attaches to the aft, vertical fin spar at four hinge points. Push--pull tubes andbellcranks link rudder to the rudder pedals.

RUDDER TRIM SYSTEM

TheM20ROVATION 2GX is equippedwith an electric rudder trim systemwhich allows the pilotto trimoutmuchof the rudder force required for takeoff, climb, cruiseanddescent. The system isa “bungee” type spring assembly, attached to the rudder control systemanddriven by anelectricmotor. The trim system is operated by a split, toggle switch located above the throttle on the pi-lot’s panel. The split switch is a safety measure that greatly reduces the possibility of a runawaytrim situation. Rudder force varies from negligible (with trim to the far right ) to mild (with trim setto the third segment from the right). Cruise settingwill result in the trim indicator being slightly leftof neutral. A high speed descent will result in an even more left of neutral position. The RudderTrim indicator is located on theGarminGDU1040Mutli-FunctionFlightDisplay (MFD). The indi-cator depicts the position (right/left) of the rudder trim setting. Actual trim position is shownusinga blue inverted triangle. The “takeoff” rudder trim position is shown in white.

ELEVATOR SYSTEM

Elevator construction is essentially the same as that of the ailerons. Both elevators attach to thehorizontal stabilizer at four hinge points. Push--pull tubes and bellcranks link the elevators to thecontrol wheel. Counterweights balance the elevators.

ELEVATOR TRIM SYSTEM

The elevator trim position indicator (located on the MFD) depicts the position (up/down) of theelevator trim setting. Trim position is shown by a blue triangle. Awhite block indicates (“take-off”elevator trim position.

WING FLAPS

The wing flaps are electrically operated and interconnected through a torque tube andbellcranks. Total flap area is 17.98 square feet.

Nominal travel is 0 to 33o. Limit switches prevent travel beyond these limits.Wing flap position iscontrolled by a pre--select switch located on the lower center console. The flap position indicator(located on the MFD) shows the current position of the flaps. The three possible positions, up,take-off and down are depicted in cyan as “UP,” “T/O” and “DN,” respectively. During flaps posi-tion transition, “///” is displayed in the window. Generally, aircraft trim requirements will changewith use of the flaps. Lowering of the flaps will cause a nose down pitching condition which canbe easily corrected by application of nose up trim. Conversely, retraction of the flaps, from atrimmed flight condition, will cause a nose up pitching condition. Use of flaps should always bewithin the operational limits established in SECTION II. The flaps are very effective in loweringlanding speed and can be used to slow the aircraft to approach speeds.

INSTRUMENT PANEL

The instrument panel hasbeendesigned to incorporate theG1000 IntegratedCockpit. AllCom-munications, Navigation, Engine Instruments, and System annunciations have been integratedinto a custom design package specifically for the M20R OVATION 2 GX series aircraft.

Engine and electrical switches are located on the left side of the switch panel. Nav, strobe, rec-ognition / landing and taxi light switches are located on the overhead switch panel.

Instrument panel lighting is provided by post lights, overhead panel lights and the internallylighted G1000 Integrated Cockpit System. Optimum cockpit panel lighting for night flying isachieved by using a combination of panel lights and overhead map lights.

ments, switches, and avionics may be relocated in each aircraft, dependant uponthe optional equipment selected by the customer and available panel space.

GARMIN G1000

The GARMIN G1000 Integrated Avionics System consists of a Primary Flight Display (PFD), aMulti--Function Display (MFD), an Audio Panel, and Attitude and Heading Reference System(AHRS), an Air Data Computer (ADC), and the sensors and computers to process flight and en-gine information for display to the pilot. The system contains dual GPS receivers, dual VOR/ILSreceivers, dual VHF communications transceivers, a transponder, and an integrated annunci-ation system to alert the pilot of certain abnormal conditions.

The Primary Flight Display (PFD) typically displays airspeed, attitude, altitude, and heading in-formation in a traditional format. Slip information is shownas a trapezoid under the bank pointer.One width of the trapezoid is equal to a one ball width slip. Rate of turn information is shown onthe scale above the compass rose; full scale deflection is equal to a standard rate turn. The fol-lowing controls are available on the PFD (clockwise from top right):S Communications frequency volume and squelch knobS Communications frequency set knobsS Communications frequency transfer buttonS Altimeter setting knob (baro/QNH set)

S Course knobS Map range knob and cursor controlS FMS control buttons and knobS PFD softkey buttons, including master warning/caution acknowledgement

S Altitude reference set knobS Heading bug controlS Navigation frequency transfer buttonS Navigation frequency set knobs

S Navigation frequency volume and Identifier knob

The PFD displays the crew alerting (annunciator) system. When an alert message is received,an aural tone will be heard. Selecting the Alert button will allow the flight crew to see additionalinformation regarding the alert message.

Trend vectors are shown on the airspeed and altimeter displays as a magenta line predicting 6seconds at the current rate. The turn rate indicator also functions as a trend indicator on thecompass scale.

The PFD can be displayed in a composite format for emergency use by pressing the DISPLAYBACKUP button on the audio panel. In the composite mode, the crew alerting function remainsoperative, but no map functions are available.

The Multi--Function Display (MFD) typically displays engine data, maps, terrain, traffic and to-pography displays, and flight planning and progress information. The display unit is identical tothe PFD and contains the same controls as previously listed.

The audio panel contains traditional transmitter and receiver selectors, as well as an integralintercomandmarker beacon system. Themarker beacon lights appear on thePFD. In addition,a clearance recorder records the last 2½minutes of received audio. Lights above the selectionsindicate what selections are active. Pressing the red DISPLAY BACKUP button on the audiopanel causes both the PFD and MFD to display a composite mode.

The Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) uses GPS, rate sensors, air data, andmagnetic variation to determine pitch and roll attitude, sideslip and heading. Operation is pos-sible in a degraded mode if the system loses any of these inputs, but the AHRS must have at

least theADCorGPS input to function. Statusmessagesalert the crewof the lossofanyof theseinputs. The AHRS will align while the aircraft is in motion, but will align quicker if the wings arekept level during the alignment process.

TheAirDataComputer (ADC) provides airspeed, altitude, vertical speed, andair temperature tothe display system. In addition to the primary displays, this information is used by the FMS andTIS systems.

Engine instruments aredisplayedon theMFD. Discrete engine sensor information is processedby theGARMINEngine Airframe (GEA) sub--system. When an engine sensor indicates a valueoutside the normal operating range, the legend will turn yellow for caution range, and turn redand flash for warning range.

TheG1000also interfaces to theS--TEC55xautopilot and repeats theautopilotmodeannuncia-tors on theG1000 PFD. This provides easy viewing of the autopilot operatingmode and status,but remains a supplemental display of autopilot operating modes.

The GDL 69A is a remote sensor that receives broadcast weather data from a service of XMSatellite Radio and delivers the data to to the G--1000 MFD. Highly reliable, near real--timeweather information is transmitted to the aircraft via XMSatelliteRadio. XMWXSatelliteWeath-er service operate in the S--band frequency to provide continuous uplink capabilities at any alti-tude throughoutNorthAmerica. Also availablewith theGDL--69A is XM’s digital audio entertain-ment, which provides 130--plus channels of music, news, talk, sports and information. Fordetailed operating instructions, see Garmin G--1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the MooneyM20R OVATION 2 GX.

The TSO’d KN 63, if installed, is a complete 100 watt, 200--channel remote DME system. Dis-tances up to 389 nm (at line--of--sight altitude), groundspeeds up to 999 knots and time--to--sta-tion up to 99minutes are computed digitally anddisplayedon theG--1000PFDand controlledbythe G--1000 interface controls. Distance lock--on is virtually instantaneous (usually within onesecond) with accurate groundspeed and time--to--station readouts following in less than a min-ute. For detailed operating instructions, see Garmin G--1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for theMooney M20R OVATION 2 GX.

TheTSO’dBeckerADF3502--(2) AutomaticDirectionFinder system, if installed, providesaccu-rate bearing--to--station in the 200 kHz to 1799 kHz frequency range, complete with ADF, ANTand BFO tuning modes, plus audio output for station identification and monitoring AM broad-casts. It is displayed on the G--1000 PFD and controlled by the PFD interface controls. For de-tailed operating instructions, see Garmin G--1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the MooneyM20R OVATION 2 GX.

Traffic data detected by the L--3CommunicationsGoodrichSKYWATCHtTraffic AdvisorySys-tem (TAS), if installed, will appear on the MFD and traffic display pages of the G--1000.

FLIGHT PANEL & INSTRUMENTS

SWITCHES & CONTROLS

NOTE:The illustration depicts a standard panel configuration. The location of instru-

ments, switches, and avionics may be relocated in each aircraft, dependant uponthe optional equipment selected by the customer and available panel space.

1. AIRSPEED INDICATOR

Theairspeed indicator registers air speed in knots. The air pressure differencebetween the pitottube and static ports on each side of the tailcone operates the air speed indicator.

2. ATTITUDE INDICATOR

Varies with installed equipment.

3. ALTIMETER

The altimeter operates by absolute pressure and converts barometric pressure to altitudereading in feet abovemeansea level. Thealtimeter has a fixed dialwith threepointers to indicatehundreds, thousands and tens--of--thousands of feet. Barometric pressure is sensed throughthe static ports. A knob adjusts a movable dial, a small window on the face of the main dial, toindicate local barometric pressure and to correct the altimeter reading for prevailing conditions.

4. TURN INDICATOR

The turn coordinator operates from an electric power source. The turn coordinator is indepen-dent of the flight reference gyros. The turn coordinator displays variation in roll and yaw to thepilot by means of a dampedminiature aircraft silhouette display -- this provides the pilot with es-sential information to execute a “proper turn”.

5. ANNUNCIATOR PANEL

See description elsewhere in this SECTION.

6. MAGNETIC COMPASS

Magnetic compass dial is graduated in five--degree increments and is encased in liquid-- filledglass andmetal case. It is equipped with compensating magnets, adjustable from front of case.Access to compass light and compensating magnets is provided by pivoted covers. Nomainte-nance is required onmagnetic compass except an occasional check on a compass rose, adjust-ment of the compensation screws (if necessary) and replacement of the lamp.

7. HOUR METER (NOT SHOWN)

Hour meter -- located on baggage compartment bulkhead indicates actual flight time and is trig-gered by the airspeed switch. Location may vary depending on installed systems.

LANDING GEAR

CONSTRUCTION

Landinggear legsare constructedof chrome--molybdenumtubular steel, heat--treated for great-er strength and wear resistance. Main gear leg attaching points pivot in bearing surfaces on for-ward and stub spars. The nose gear mounts on cabin tubular steel frame and engine mount.Rubber discs in all gear leg assemblies absorb shock of taxiing and landing.

RETRACTION SYSTEM

Landing gear is electrically retracted and extended. The landing gear switch operates a landinggear actuator relay. Pull wheel--shaped knob out and move it to upper detente to raise landinggear.However, anAirspeedSafetySwitch, locatedon left fuselage sideadjacent to thepilot’s leftknee and connected to the airspeed indicator, is incorporated into the electrical system to pre-vent landing gear retractionwhile on the groundanduntil a safe takeoff speed (approximately 60+/--5KTS) is reached.Aproperly riggedup--limit switchwill stop landinggear in its retractedposi-tion. Move control knob to its lower detente to lower landing gear. A properly rigged down--limitswitchwill stop landing gear actuatingmotorwhenproper force hasbeenexerted to hold landinggear in the down--and--locked position. Bungee springs pre--load retraction mechanism in anovercenter position to assist in holding landing gear down. A landing gear safety by--pass switchoverride is provided, next to the gear switch, should landing gear fail to retract. Depress andholdthis switch to manually by--pass airspeed safety switch and allow landing gear to retract.

--CAUTION--Never rely on airspeed safety switch to keep landing gear down during taxi, takeoff orlanding. Always make certain that landing gear switch is in down position during

these operations.

WHEEL BRAKES

Main gear wheels incorporate self--adjusting, disc--type, dual puck, hydraulic brakes. The pilot’srudder pedals have individual toe--actuated brake cylinders linked to the rudder pedals.Depressing both toe pedals and pulling parking brake control, on console, sets the brakes.Pushparking brake control forward to release brakes. It is not advisable to set parking brake whenbrakes are overheated, after heavy braking or when outside temperatures are unusually high.Trapped hydraulic fluid may expand with heat and damage the system. Wheel chocks and tiedowns should be used for long--term parking.

EMERGENCY EXTENSION SYSTEM

A manual, emergency gear extension mechanism is provided to allow emergency lowering oflanding gear. The control mechanism is located between and aft of pilot and co--pilot seats. TheRED levermust be released and pulled up (rotated aft) to engage themanual emergency exten-sion mechanism. The mechanism has a spring retracted pull cable which manually drives thegear actuator to extend landing gear. 12--20 pulls are required to fully extend and lock landinggear down. The electrical extension or retraction systemwill not operate if themanual extensionlever is not properly positioned down.

WARNING SYSTEM

The landing gear warning system consists of:

1) landing gear condition lights,GREEN for “GEARDOWN” andRED for “GEARUNSAFE”, and

2) VOICE ALERT, activated when landing gear is not down--and--locked and throttle is approxi-mately 1/4 inch from idle position. The green light shows continuously when landing gear is fullyextended. The red light showswhen ever landing gear is in transit or not locked down but isOFFwhen landing gear is fully retracted. A visual gear--position indicator, located on floorboard, aft ofthe fuel selector, shows that landing gear is down when indicator marks align. The gear downlight is dimmed when navigation lights are turned on.

SEAT BELTS/SAFETY HARNESS

Safety restraints, if worn properly, (1 occupant per restraint) keep occupants firmly in their seatsduring T/O, landing, turbulent air and duringmaneuvers. The belts/harnesses aremechanicallysimple and comfortable to wear. The front seat inertia belts/harnesses are attached to hardpoints on side structure and seats. The rear seat belts are attached to brackets firmlymounted tostructural hard points. Shoulder harnesses are provided for rear seat occupants. Safety belts/harnesses MUST be fastened for take--off and landing operations. It is recommended that allinfants and small children below 40 lbs. weight and/or under 40 in. height be restrained in anapproved child restraint system appropriate to their height and weight. The single diagonal typesafety harness is designed so the chest strap crosses diagonally from the outboard shoulder toanattachment point as lowon the inboardhip aspossible.Rear seat occupants should take careto conform with this procedure in adjusting chest strap and inboard belt length. This diagonalconfiguration places body center--of--gravity inside the triangle formed by chest strap and lapbelt. The lap belt should be adjusted comfortably tight. As a result, the body is restricted fromrolling out toward the unrestricted shoulder or “open” side of the harness, upon forward impact.Refer to Figure 7--4 for proper seat belt/harness adjustment.

the knob to itsmaximumaft travel position to close the idle cut--off valve to completely shutdownthe engine. Precise mixture settings can be established by observing the EGT gauge on the pi-lot’s instrument panel while adjusting the mixture control.

The optional throttle, propeller andmixture controls are vernier type and fine adjustment can bemade by turning knobs clockwise or counter--clockwise. The vernier controls should be riggedwithin .030 to .060 in. frompanel nut face.Rapidmovementor largeadjustments canbemadebypushing button on end of control and positioning control where desired. The non--vernier throttlehas an integral friction device.

ENGINE INSTRUMENTS

Engine instruments operate electrically, except manifold pressure, through variations in resist-ance caused by pressure or temperature changes or by variations in current output caused byvarying engine RPMor alternator output. The tachometer receives its signal from the Hall effectsensor in magneto.

Engine operating instruments are displayed in the Garmin GDU 1040 Multi--Function Display.Colored bars on instrument facesmark operating ranges. Proper interpretation of engine instru-ment readings is essential for selecting optimum control settings and for maintaining maximumcruise fuel economy. (Refer to SECTION II for Limitations).

ENGINE OPERATION AND CARE

Life of an engine is determined by the care it receives. Maximum efficiency and engine servicelife can be expected when a good maintenance program is followed. Poor maintenance resultsin faulty engine performance and reduced service life. Efficient engine operation demands care-ful attention to cleanliness of air, fuel, oil andmaintaining operating temperatureswithin requiredlimits. Servicing of the engine should be accomplished only by qualified personnel. The mini-mumgrade of fuel for this engine is 100 LL or 100 octane aviation gasoline. If the grade requiredis not available, use a higher rated fuel; never use a lower rated fuel. Operational procedures foradverse environmental conditions can be found in enginemaintenance and operator’s manual.

OIL SYSTEM

The engine has a full--pressure,wet sumpoil systemwith an 8 quart (7.57 liters) capacity. A con-ventional dipstick is provided for determining oil quantity. The oil system is depicted in Figure7--5. The propeller governor boosts engine oil pressure for operation of the propeller. It controlsoil pressure going to the propeller hub to maintain or change propeller blade angles. This oilflows through propeller shaft to reach the propeller.

IGNITION SYSTEM

Power from the engine crankshaft is transmitted through camshaft gear to the magneto drivegears, which in turn drives the magneto drive couplings. The left magneto incorporates an im-pulse coupling. As the rubber bushings in the drive gear turns the coupling drive lugs, counter-weighted latch pawls inside the coupling cover, engage pins on themagneto caseand hold backthe latch plate until forced inward by the coupling cover. When the latch plate is released, thecoupling spring spins the magneto shaft through its neutral position and the breaker opens toproduce a high voltage surge in the secondary coil. The spring action permits the latch plate,magnet andbreaker to bedelayed througha lagangle of 30degreesof drive gear rotationduringthe engine cranking period. Two lobes on the breaker cam produce two sparks per revolution ofthe drive shaft.

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM

The engine air induction system consists of a NACA, flush--type air inlet duct located on front oflower cowling. The air inlet duct incorporates the air filter housing. This housing contains athrow--away, paper canister type air filter element.

A secondary or alternate air source for combustion air is provided. This air inlet has a springloaded door which normally remains closed. If the air filter or induction air inlet should become

restricted, the alternate air door will automatically open. Warmer air will then be drawn from theengine compartment. There will be a reduction of engine power when the alternate air door isopen due to lower inlet air pressure and higher air temperature.Whenever the alternate air dooris open, a switch will activate the “ALT AIR” annunciator light on the panel to alert the pilot.

ICING PROTECTION

Continued operation of the induction system in the event of intake air being obstructed is pro-videdby activation of the alternate air system. Thealternate air is automatically ormanually con-trolled. When the door is opened, unfiltered, relatively warm air, from engine compartment, isadmitted into the induction system.

EXHAUST SYSTEM

The exhaust system consists of tubes from each cylinder mating into amuffler under the enginecrankcase. The right collector pipe crosses through muffler and out an exhaust pipe on the leftside of aircraft. The left collector pipe crosses through muffler and out an exhaust pipe on theright side of aircraft. A short tailpipe attaches to the end of each exhaust pipe.

Themuffler hasaheat shroudaround itwhich servesas a cabin air heater.Outsideambient air isforced into the cabin heater by forward velocity. Air flows around themuffler, picking up heat andis then carried to a cabin heat J--box mounted on the firewall. When cabin heat is not required,the air continues to flow around the muffler for cooling and is dumped overboard through thecabin heat J--box outlet duct.

FUEL INJECTION

The fuel injection system is of the multi--nozzle, continuous flow type which controls fuel flow tomatch engine requirements. Any change in air throttle position, engine speed or a combinationof these causes changes in fuel pressure in direct relation to engine requirements. A manualmixture control is provided for precise leaning at any altitude and power setting. A fuel flow sys-tem is installed for digital read out of fuel flow in gallons per hour. However, fuel flow is NOT to beused as reference for manual leaning. Use the EGT gauge for this purpose.

The continuous--flow system permits the use of a typical rotary vane pump with integral reliefvalve.With this system there is no need for an intricatemechanism for timing fuel injection to theengine. The fuel injector pump is equippedwith a separator where vapor is separated by a swirl-ing augmenter system from the liquid fuel and returned to the tank selected. The fuel injectorpump forces liquid fuel into the metering unit assembly.

The fuel metering unit/air throttle controls the amount of intake air admitted into the intakeman-ifold and meters the proportionate amount of fuel to the fuel manifold valve. The assembly hasthree control units, one for air, in the air throttle assembly, and two for the fuel control unit.

The manifold valve receives fuel from the metering unit. When fuel pressure reaches approxi-mately 3.5 PSI, a check valve opens and admits fuel to six ports in the manifold valve (one portfor each fuel nozzle line). The manifold valve also serves to provide a clean cut off of fuel to thecylinder when engine is shut down.

The injector nozzle lines connect the manifold valve to the six fuel injector nozzles.

The injector nozzles (one per cylinder) are “air bleed” type fuel nozzles which spray fuel directlyinto the intake port of the cylinder.Whenengine is running, flow through the nozzle is continuousand will enter the cylinder combustion chamber when the intake valve opens.

Since thesizeof the fuel nozzlesare fixed, theamount of fuel flowing through them isdeterminedby the pressure applied. For this reason, fuel flow may be accurately determined by measuringfuel pressure at the manifold valve.

ENGINE COOLING AIR

Ram air is drawn into the forward part of upper cowl and flows down, around the cylinders usingseveral baffles to control air direction. Hot air, off the cylinders, exits cowl thru lower cowlopenings, located on either side of engine lower cowl, immediately forward of the firewall.

ENGINE STARTING SYSTEM

Enginestarting is providedbya24volt starter.A starter engagedwarning light (STARTPOWER)is incorporated as standard equipment in annunciator panel. Ignition is provided by an impulsecoupled magneto.

The engine firing order is 1--6--3--2--5--4. The ignition harnesses are connected to themagnetosso the right magneto fires the upper plugs on the right side and lower plugs on the left. The leftmagneto fires the upper plugs on the left and the lower plugs on the right.

ACCESSORIES

EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE PROBE

The exhaust gas temperature (EGT) probe measures exhaust gas temperature as it exits theexhaust valves into the exhaust manifold. The EGT probe varies electrical current (milliamps),basedonexhaust gas temperature, anddisplays thisdataon theGarminGDU1040Multi--Func-tion Display. The EGT gauge is used as the primary source to lean fuel mixture.

PROPELLER

HARTZELL THREE BLADE PHC--J3YF--1RF/F7693DF(B)--2

The propeller is a three--blade, 76 inch (193 cm.) diameter, constant speed unit that featuresaluminum blades in an aluminum hub. The spinner is fabricated from aluminum alloy. A moredetailed description can be found in Hartzell Manual 115N (Properller Owners Manual).

Centrifugal twisting moment acting on the blades moves the blades to a low blade angle (lowpitch) to increaseRPM.Since the centrifugal twistingmoment is only presentwhen the propelleris rotating, amechanical spring is installed within the propeller to assist movement of the bladesto a lower pitch position as RPM decays, and to reduce the propeller pitch to the low pitch stopwhen the propeller is static.With the blades at low pitch, the load on the starter when starting theengine is reduced significantly.

Oil pressure opposes the spring and centrifugal twisting moment to move the blades to a highbladeangle (high pitch), reducing engineRPM. If oil pressure is lost at any time, the propellerwillmove to low pitch. This occurs because the spring and blade centrifugal twistingmoment are nolonger opposed by hydraulic oil pressure. The propeller will then reduce blade pitch to the lowpitch stop.

In cruise, always use the power setting charts provided in SECTION V.

FUEL SYSTEM

Fuel is carried in two integrally sealed sections of the forward, inboard area of wing. Total usablefuel capacity is 89 U.S. gallons (336.9 liters). There are sump drains at the lowest point in eachtank for taking fuel samples to check for sediment contamination or condensedwater accumula-tion.

The recessed three position fuel selector valve, aft of console, on the floor, allows pilot to setselector valve to LEFT tank, RIGHT tank or OFF position.

The gascolator, located at right of selector valve, in the floorboard, is for draining condensedwater and sediment from lowest point in fuel system before first flight of the day and after eachrefueling. The gascolator sump can be used to drain the selected fuel tank.

Fuel is delivered, by the engine driven pump, to a throttle body fuel injector where pressure isregulated and the correct volume of fuel is metered to each cylinder of the engine.

Fuel not needed by the engine is returned to the tank from which it is drawn. An electric FuelBoost Pump is provided which has the capability of operating engine at partial power in case ofengine driven fuel pump failure. The pump is controlled by two switches. The “BOOST PUMP”switch is to be used for priming engine during normal starting procedures (See SECTION IV) orpurging fuel vapor from system when environmental conditions or a heat soaked engine mayrequire it. (See SECTION III). The BOOST PUMP switch connects the pump through a voltageregulator for correct pump output. A guard on the “HIGH BOOST” switch prevents inadvertentoperation and must be lifted for switch operation. (See SECTION III). “HIGH BOOST” is to beused when engine driven fuel pump has malfunctioned and will provide sufficient fuel for partialpower operation until a precautionary landing can be made to correct malfunction.

Twoelectric fuel--level transmitters,working in series, in eachwing tankoperate theappropriate,left or right, fuel quantity gauges. The master switch actuates the fuel quantity indicator systemto depict an indication of fuel remaining in each tank. Vents in each fuel tank allow for overflowand pressure equalization.

The optional, visual fuel quantity indicators, in the top of each wing, are to be used for PARTIALFUEL LOADING only and NOT for preflight inspection purpose. Fuel Flow indicating system (ifinstalled) indicates the volume of fuel being used, total fuel used or fuel remaining or time re-maining. Optional fuel flow systems are available and each do not indicate the same type data.The fuel flow memory switch can be shut off if aircraft is to be stored for long periods of time.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

ALTERNATOR & (OPTIONAL) STAND-BY ALTERNATORTheM20ROVATION2GXhasa28VoltDCelectrical system, poweredbya100--ampalternatorwhich ismounted on the front of the engine. It is driven by the engine crankshaft through a shearmechanismand charges themain batteries. The alternator is the primary source of aircraft pow-er and is connected to the aircraft electrical system at themain bus. In the event of an alternatorfailure, an Optional 20 Amp standby alternator (if installed) actuated by the pilot using amanualswitch in the cockpit labeled EMER BUS, powers Essential systems as presented on the fasciaof the Circuit Breaker Panel. If the Primary and Optional Standby charging systems fail, theship’s battery(s) provide the system with electrical power.

BATTERY

The M20R OVATION 2 GX has 2 separate 11 ampere/hour batteries, which are mounted in thetail cone. Either battery can be selected to power the electrical bus using the BATT 1/BATT 2select rocker switchmounted on the LHside of thePilot’s Flight Panel.Only onebatterywill pow-er the bus at any one time. The unselected battery will be trickle charged by the ship’s alternatorwhen the engine is running and the ammeter shows a positive charge condition. The selectedbattery is connected to the aircraft bus by the BATT MASTER rocker switch located on the LHside of the Pilot’s Flight Panel. The aircraft has an External Power receptacle located on the leftside of the tailcone, aft of the tailcone access panel. When external power is connected to thisreceptacle, either or both batteriesmay be charged. The External Power receptacle can also beused for maintenance activities, or to start the engine.

In the event of an alternator failure, selecting EMER BUS will:S Power the optional standby alternator (if installed).S Shed unessential loads and power Essential systems consisting of:S G1000 system, which is comprised of the PFD/MFD, AHRS, ADC, Com1, Nav1, GPS1,

transponder, audio panel, and Engine Instruments;S An independent, standby attitude indicator (artificial horizon);S Aux. Overhead Equipment, Aux Panel Equipment, and Ice Protection

Activating the EMERBUSswitch bypasses themaster switch and electrically feeds the standbyattitude indicator and all standby lighting using bothmain batteries in the event that theOptionalStandby Alternator if installed also fails.

NOTE:In flight, NEVER deselect the BATT MASTER switch unless the EMER BUS switch

is energized.

ESSENTIAL BUS

TheEssential bus is tied directly to themain aircraft battery via the non--essential bus. When themaster switch is turned on, power is immediately supplied to the Essential and non--Essentialbusses. The Essential bus provides power to the G1000 equipment and to the backup instru-ments. When theEmergencyBusswitch is activatedby thepilot, theOptional standbyalternator(if installed) is brought online and two relays close to power the essential bus via a secondarypath. The selected main battery (two main batteries are available) remains online.

NON - ESSENTIAL BUS

The non--essential bus powers the autopilot, turn coordinator required for the autopilot, theStormscope, and GIA #2. This bus is load shed manually by the pilot by pulling the BAT circuitbreaker when the optional standby alternator (if installed) and emergency bus switch are acti-vated.EQUIPMENT LOCATION

TheG1000 ADC andGEALRU’s are located behind the PFD andMFD, whichmay be removedusing a hexagonal tool. The magnetometer is located in the right wing outboard of the landinglight. The AHRS, and remaining LRU’s are located behind the cabin near the main batteries.

CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL (See FIGURES 7--9)(Illustration depicts typical C/B panel; may vary from your aircraft)

The circuit breaker panel is located on the right side of the instrument panel. Each breaker isclearly marked to show which circuit it protects. Also, circuit provisions are made to handle theaddition of (optional) communications and navigation equipment.

Push--pull or rocker switch--circuit breakers automatically break the electrical current flow if thesystemor unit receives current overload to prevent damage to electrical wiring. Figure 7--9 illus-trates a typical main circuit breaker panel with its push--pull circuit breakers. Rocker switch--cir-cuit breakers are at the bottom and left of the pilot’s flight panel.

The alternator’s push--pull circuit breaker, on the main breaker panel, furnish an emergencyoverload break between the alternators and the power bus. Since the alternator is incapable ofoutput in excess of circuit breaker capacity, a trippedbreaker normally indicates a fault within thealternator.

NOTE:NEVER fly the aircraft with a severely discharged battery, even if you do not planto use it. Selection of a severely discharged battery in flight can cause a current

”in--rush” from the alternator, and may damage on--board systems.

The alternator field has a push--pull circuit breaker to furnish an emergency break in the alterna-tor field excitation circuit in the event of alternator or voltage regulator malfunction. If regulatoroutput voltage exceeds limits, thewarning light illuminates steadily and thealternator field circuitbreaker trips.

Resetting the alternator field circuit breaker should reset the alternator. If the circuit breaker willnot reset, continue flight withminimumelectrical load. The flight will be continued using only bat-tery power, caution is advised to not drain both batteries if electrical powerwill be requiredbeforeyou are able to land. Land when practical to correct the malfunction.

NOTE:The circuit breakers installed in the panel may vary depending on installed equip-

ment.

ACCESSORIES

Standard electrical accessories include the starter, the electric fuel pump, and the stall warninghorn. Electrical accessories include the navigation lights, anti--collision strobe lights, instrumentpanel lighting, and cabin courtesy lights. Make sure the lighting and Emergency Bus switch, aswell as the STBY GYRO circuit breaker are de--energized when leaving the aircraft. Leavingthese systems energized for an extended period of time could cause depletion of the battery.

Two lights, mounted in the overhead panel, provide instrument and cockpit lighting for night fly-ing. Awing tip position light systemconsists of 2 lights on eachwingtip and is operated by a rock-er type switchmounted in the overhead switch panel. Landing and taxi lights aremounted on thewing leading edges on both wings.

Wing tip and tail mounted Strobe lights are controlled by a rocker type switch mounted in theoverhead switch panel.

TheM20ROVATION2GX electrical system is divided into two power buses. A simplified sche-matic of the electrical system is shown in the diagram FIGURE 7--8.

PILOT/CO--PILOTAIR VALVE -- One adjustable swivel head valve is provided for each cockpitseat on the cabin walls at knee height just forward of the front seats. These valves are supplieddirectly by outside ram air. Twist vent to adjust flow. Tilt vent to direct flow.

CABINVENT -- TheCABINVENThandle on the center console opens a valve thatwill mix freshoutside air with the cabin heat or defrost system. Pull CABIN VENT knob to open. When cabinheat is on intermediate settings between full open and full closed provide continuously variablemixing ratios. Cold and hot air mixing may be used to control the total cabin heat output.

CABINHEAT -- Sonic nozzles extract a constantmass flow of high temperature air immediatelydownstream from the turbo compressor and send it to the cabin heat valve assembly. With theheat valve closed unused hot air is exhausted into the cowling. Pulling the CABIN HEAT handleon the center console AFT opens the cabin heat valve and closes the overboard outflow vent toprovide heated air to the cabin. Intermediate settings will provide intermediate amounts of cabinheat and overboard outflow. If exhaust or oil fumes are detected in the cockpit immediately shutthe CABIN HEAT valve. Oil fumes in particular may be a sign of impending turbo bearing failureand should be investigated post flight.

OVERHEADVENTILATION -- Cabinoverheadventilatingsystemworks independently of cabinheating and ventilating system. Fresh air enters a duct on dorsal fin and is controlled by individu-al outlets above and between each seat. Amaster air vent control is located between the pilots &co--pilots seat on the overhead panel. Rotating this control left or right will regulate the total airflow available to all four overhead vents.

DEFROST -- The windshield defrost system takes air from the cabin air distribution system anddistributes this over the windshield interior surface any time the CABIN HEAT and/or CABINVENT valves are opened. Pulling the DEFROST control full AFT decreases flow to the cabin,turns the defroster blower ON and forces maximum air to flow through the defrost ducts.

PITOT PRESSURE & STATIC SYSTEMA pitot tube, mounted on lower surface of the left wing, picks up ram air for air speed indication.Two static ports, one on each side of the tailcone, supply static air pressure for the altimeter, theairspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator.

A pitot heater prevents pitot tube icing when flying in moisture--laden air. A pitot system drainvalve is located on the forward bottom skin of the left wing to fuselage fillet. A static systemdrainvalve is located on fuselage bottom skin below the left side, tailcone access door and is used todrain moisture that might collect in static system lines. Excessive moisture in the system canaffect instrument readings.

An alternate static pressure source valve handle is installed in the instrument panel below thepilot’s control wheel shaft. Alternate static air pressure is sensed from within the cabin and willaffect flight instrument readings. Correction charts in SECTIONVdepict the difference betweenindicated and calibrated instrument readings for both primary and alternate static systems as-suming zero instrument error. These corrections are required to determine true airspeed. Thetrue airspeed indicated on the MFD and the backup airspeed indicator doesn’t include static er-ror corrections.

STALL WARNING SYSTEM

The electrical stall warning system uses a vane--actuated switch, installed in left wing leadingedge, to energize stall warning horn located in the cabin. The stall warning switch is adjusted toprovide aural warning (VOICE ALERT) at 5 to 10 KIAS before actual stall is reached and willremain on until aircraft flight attitude is changed toward a non--stalled condition.

NOTE:Do not attempt to adjust prestall warning speed by bending the vane. This parthas been heat treated and cannot be bent without damaging or breaking the

vane.

OXYGEN SYSTEM

An optional four--place oxygen system provides supplementary oxygen necessary for continu-ous flight at high altitude.Anoxygen cylinder is located in the equipment bay, accessible througha removable panel on theaftwall of thebaggagecompartment, or through the standardexternal,right side, panel in the tailcone. A combined pressure regulator/shutoff valve, attached to thecylinder, automatically reduces cylinder pressure to the delivery pressure required for operatingaltitude. The oxygen cylinder filler valve is located under a spring loaded door aft of the baggagedoor.

A pilot’s oxygen panel contains a cylinder pressure gauge, on the pilot’s arm rest, effectively aquantity gauge, andacontrol knob, belowarm rest,which ismechanically connected to theshut-off valve at the cylinder. The supply of oxygen can thus be shut off from the cockpit when notrequired.When the control is in the “ON” position, sufficient oxygen flow is available at themaxi-mumairplane operating altitude (see Section II Limitations) while at lower altitudes the reducingvalve automatically economizes the flow to conserve oxygen for longer duration or for futureavailability, without requiring any action by the pilot (See Fig. 7--12 or Fig. 7--13).

Four oxygen outlets are provided in the overhead panel between the pilot’s and co--pilot’s seatfor the convenience of all occupants. Oxygen flows from the outlets only when a mask hose isconnected. Four partial re--breathing typemasks are provided, eachwith vinyl plastic hoses andflow indicators. The three passengermasks are of the disposable type. The pilot’smask is a per-manent typewith a built--inmicrophone for ease of radio communication while using oxygen. Touse themask--microphone, connect its lead to themicrophone jack located left of the instrumentpanel, in placeof theaircraft or headsetmicrophone lead, andkey theswitchon the control yoke.

The oxygen cylinder, (composite) when fully charged, contains either a 77.1 ft.3 or 115.7 ft.3 ofaviator’s breathing oxygen (SpecNo.MIL--0--27210) under a pressure of 1850PSI at 21oC (70o

F).

Filling pressures will vary, however, due to ambient temperature in filling area, and the rise oftemperature resulting from compression of the oxygen. Because of this, merely filling to 1850PSI will not necessarily result in a properly filled cylinder. Fill to pressures indicated on Fig. 7--11for ambient temperatures.

--WARNING--Oil, grease or other lubricants in contact with oxygen create a serious fire hazard, and

such contact must be avoided when handling oxygen equipment.

ForFAA requirements concerning supplemental oxygen, refer to FAR91.32.Supplemental oxy-gen should beusedbyall occupantswhencruisingabove12,500 feet. It is oftenadvisable to useoxygen at altitudes lower than 12,500 feet under conditions of night flying, fatigue, or periods ofphysiological or emotional disturbances.Also the habitual andexcessive useof tobaccoor alco-hol will usually necessitate the use of oxygen at less than 10,000 feet.

The oxygen duration chart (Fig. 7--12 or Fig. 7--13) should be used in determining the usableduration (in hours) of the oxygen supply in the airplane for the chosen cruising altitude. The fol-lowing procedure outlines the method of finding the duration from the chart:

1. Note the available oxygen pressure shown on the pressure gauge.

2.Locate this pressureon thescaleon the left sideof the chart. Thengoacross thechart horizon-tally to the right until intersecting thediagonal linewhich represents thenumberof personsonboard. From that intersection drop vertically down to the heavy line, marked 30,000 ft..

3. From this point on the heavy line, follow the trend of the curved lines, down to the horizontalline representing cruisealtitude.Thendropvertically down to thebottomof thechart and readthe duration in hours given on the scale.

4.As an example of the above procedure (refer to Figure 7--12), 1400PSI of pressure will safelysustain the pilot and one passenger for 4 hours and 55minutes at 28,000 ft.; however, cruis-ing at 20,000 ft. would permit an oxygen duration of 7 hours and 55 minutes.

Light crew loadsand relatively lowaltitudeswill permit oxygendurationsoff the chart. Suchdura-tions can be calculated by determining the duration at 30,000 feet (by steps 1 and 2 above) andmultiplying by the “duration multiplier” shown on the right of the appropriate cruising altitude.

Example, Pilot only, at 1600 PSI has 11.25 hours duration at 30,000 ft. DurationMultiplier of 2.4for 20,000 ft., gives 26 hours and 54minutes duration. Oxygen durations off the chart obviouslyexceed the airplanes duration. However, judicious choices of altitude for the number of personson board can permit flight planning for several fuel stops, without need for recharging oxygensystem at each stop.

--CAUTION--Facial hair, beards and mustaches may prevent a proper seal between face and mask,

causing 16-67% leakage. Duration chart may be invalid.

VACUUM SYSTEM

GX aircraft are all electric. There is no Vacuum System in the standard aircraft.

EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER

The Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) is located in the tailcone and is accessible from thebattery access door on the right side of the tailcone. The emergency locator transmitter meetsthe requirements of FAR91.52 and is automatically activated by a longitudinal force of 5 to 7 g’s.The ELT transmits a distress signal on both 121.5 MHz and 243.0 MHz for a period of from 48hours in low temperatureareasandup to100hours inhigh temperatureareas.Theunit operateson a self--contained battery. The battery should be checked at each annual inspection. The bat-tery has a useful life of four years. However, to comply with FAA regulations it must be replacedafter two years of shelf life. The battery should also be replaced if the transmitter has been usedin an emergency situation or if accumulated test time exceeds one hour. The battery replace-ment date is marked on the transmitter label.

On the unit itself is a three position selector switch placarded “ARM“, “OFF”, “ON”. The “ARM”position is provided to set theunit to theautomatic position so that it will transmit only after impactand will continue to transmit until battery is drained to depletion or until the switch is manuallymoved to “OFF”. “ARM” position is selected when the transmitter is installed at the factory andswitch should remain in that positionwhenever unit is installed in the airplane. The “ON” positionis providedsounit canbeusedasaportable transmitter or in theevent theautomatic featurewasnot triggered by impact or to periodically test the function of the transmitter. Select the “OFF”positionwhen changing battery,when rearming the unit if it has beenactivated for any reason, orto discontinue transmission.

NOTE:If the switch has been placed in the “ON” position for any reason, the “OFF”

position has to be selected before selecting “ARM”. If “ARM” is selected directlyfrom the “ON” position the unit will continue to transmit in the “ARM” position.

ELT REMOTE SWITCH OPERATION

Apilot’s remoteELTswitch, locatedat the topof right hand radio panel, is provided to allow trans-mitter to be controlled from inside cabin. Thepilot’s remote switch is placarded “ON”, and “ARM”.The unit will start transmitting with switch in “ON” position and will stop when remote switch isreturned to “ARM” position during cockpit checkout.

NOTE:If for any reason a test transmission is necessary, the operator must first obtainpermission from a local FAA or FCC representative (or other applicable Authority)or in accordance with current regulations. Test transmission should be kept to aminimal duration. Testing of ELT should be conducted only during the first five

(5) minutes after any hour and no longer than three (3) audible sweeps.

The ELT should be checked during the ground check tomake certain the unit has not been acci-dentally activated. Check by tuning a radio receiver to 121.5 MHz. If there is an oscillating/war-bling sound, the locatormay have been activated and should be turned off immediately. Reset to“ARM” position and check again to insure against outside interference.

INTRODUCTION

This section contains factory recommended procedures for proper ground handling, routinecare and servicing of your Mooney.

It is recommended that all aircraft undergo a complete inspection (ANNUAL) each twelve calen-darmonths. In addition to the recommendedANNUAL inspection, aircraft operatedcommercial-ly (for hire) shouldhaveacomplete inspectionevery100hoursof operation.All inspectionsmustbe performed by a designated representative of the FAA or the Aviation Authority of the countryin which the aircraft is licensed.

TheFAAmay require other inspections by the issuanceofAirworthinessDirectives applicable tothe airplane, engine, propeller and other components. It is the responsibility of the owner/opera-tor to ensure compliance with all applicable Airworthiness Directives and recommended “MAN-DATORY” Mooney Aircraft Service Bulletins/Instructions. When inspections are repetitive theowner/operator should take appropriate steps to prevent inadvertent non--compliance.

Scheduling of ALL maintenance is the responsibility of the aircraft operator. A general knowl-edge of the aircraft is necessary to perform day-to-day service procedures and to determinewhen non-routine or unusual service or shop maintenance is needed.

Service information in this section of themanual is limited to service procedureswhich the oper-ator will normally perform or supervise. Reference should be made to FAR Part 43 for informa-tion regarding preventive maintenance which may be performed by a U.S. licensed pilot.

It iswise to followaplannedscheduleof lubricationandpreventivemaintenancebasedonclima-tic and flying conditions encountered in your locality.

Keep in touchwith yourMooneyServiceCenter and take advantageof his knowledge andexpe-rience. He knows your airplane and how to maintain it. Should an extraordinary or difficult prob-lem arise concerning the repair or upkeep of your Mooney, consult the:

GROUND HANDLING

TOWING

Formaneuvering the aircraft in close quarters, in the hangar, or on the ramp, use themanual towbar furnished with the aircraft loose equipment. The tow bar attaches to the nose gear crossbar.Onemancanmove theaircraft providing thegroundsurface is relatively smoothand the tiresareproperly inflated.

When no tow bar is available, or when assistance in moving the aircraft is required, push byhand:

1. On wing leading edges

and

2. On inboard portion of propeller blades adjacent to propeller hub.

Towing by tractor or other powered equipment is NOT RECOMMENDED.

--CAUTION--Exercise care not to turn the nose wheel past its normal swivel angle of 11oLeft or 13oRight of center. Exceeding the turn limits shown on the turn indicator may cause

structural damage.

TIE DOWN

As a precaution against wind damage, always tie down the aircraft when parked outside. Re-movable wing tie down eye-bolts, supplied with the loose equipment, screw into wing recep-tacles marked HOIST POINT just outboard of each main gear.

Replace these eye bolts with jack point fixtures when it is necessary to lift the aircraft with jacks.The tail tie down point is part of the tail skid.

TO TIE DOWN AIRCRAFT:

1. Park the airplane facing the wind.

2. Fasten the co-pilot seat belt through the flight control wheel. Pull seat belt snug so flightcontrols are immobilized.

3. Fasten strong ground-anchored chain or rope to the installed wing tie down eye bolt, andplace wheel chocks fore and aft of each wheel.

4. Fasten a strong ground-anchored chain or rope through the tail skid.

JACKING

When it is necessary to raise the aircraft off the ground:

1. Install jack points in tie down mounting holes outboard of each main gear.

2. Use standard aircraft jacks at both wing hoist points (wing tie down eyebolt receptacles)outboard of the main gears. While holding jack point in place, raise jack to firmly contact jackpoint.

3. Place a jack under front jack point (Sta. -- 5.51) to lift nose wheel.

4. Raise aircraft, keeping wings as nearly level as possible.

5. Secure safety locks on each jack.

--CAUTION--Do not raise the aircraft on jacks out of doors when wind velocity is over 8 KTS. Whenlowering aircraft on jacks, bleed off pressure on all jacks simultaneously and evenly

to keep aircraft level as it is lowered.

NOTE:Individual wheels may be raised without raising entire aircraft. Wheels not being

raised should be chocked fore and aft.

SERVICING

REFUELING

Integrally sealed tanks, in forward, inboard sections of wing (LH & RH), carry the standard fuelquantity. With aircraft positioned on level ground, service each fuel tank after flight with 100 oc-tane or 100LL aviation grade gasoline.The fuel tank is considered full when fuel completelycovers bottom of standpipe.

The optional, visual fuel quantity indicators on top of each wing tank should be used as a refer-ence for partial refueling only. These gauges will not indicate the tank’s total capacity above 30gallons of fuel.

Before filling fuel tanks, when planning a maximum weight flight configuration, consult theWeight & Balance Record (SECTION VI) for loading data.

--CAUTION--Never use aviation fuel of a lower grade than 100 octane or 100 LL avgas.

Fuel samples from the sump drain of each tank should always be taken before the first flight oftheday to check forwater, sediment or other contamination. It is recommended that fuel samplesbe taken prior to each flight. Fuel samples taken immediately after refuelingmay not showwateror sediment due to mixing action of refueling process.

--WARNING--Allow five minutes after refueling for water and sediment to settle in tank and fuel

drain valve before taking fuel samples or draining gascolator.Tank sumpdrains are near eachwing root, forward of thewheel wells. A small plastic cup is sup-plied as loose equipment for obtaining fuel samples. To collect a fuel sample, insert cup actuatorprong into sump drain receptacle; push upward to open valve momentarily and drain fuel intocup. Ifwater is in fuel, adistinct lineseparatingwater fromgasolinewill beseen through transpar-ent cup wall. Water, being heavier, will settle to bottom of cup, while colored fuel will remain ontop.Continue taking fuel samples until all water is purged from tank.Aircraft should be in alevel position to prevent the possibility of any contamination not being at sump drain area.

The fuel system gascolator is on the cabin floor, forward of co-pilot’s seat. To flush system andlines leading from wing tanks to selector valve, turn selector handle to the left tank position andpull fuel drain valve for about five seconds. Repeat procedure for right tank. Be sure fuel drainvalve is returned to closed position and drain valve is not leaking.

NOTE:Use recommended engine break-in procedures as published by engine manufac-

turer.

ENGINE LUBRICATION

Operate and service new engine within limitations given in SECTION II and per TCM Mainte-nance and Operators Manual.

Before every flight, check engine oil level and replenish as necessary.

The oil filler cap access door is located in top cowling. Any lubricating oil must conformwith TCMSpecificationMHS24 or MHS25 to be acceptable for use in engine. See TCMMaintenance andOperators Manual for specifically approved products.

New or newly overhauled engines should be operated on aviation grade mineral oil during thefirst 25HOURSof operation or until oil consumption has stabilized. The aircraft is delivered fromMooney with multi-viscosity mineral oil. Single viscosity mineral oil may be added to multi-vis-cosity mineral oil if necessary.

Theengine is equippedwith anexternal, full flow, oil filter. Engineoil change intervals are recom-mended at each 50-HOUR INTERVALS if small capacity oil filter is installed. If large capacity oilfilter is installed, the oil change interval may be increased to 100-HOUR INTERVALS providedthe oil filter is replaced every 50 hours. The external oil filter element is recommended to be re-placed at 50-HOUR INTERVALS in all cases.

--CAUTION--If an engine has been operating on mineral oil for several hundred hours, a change to

additive oil should be undertaken with caution.

If the engine is in an extremely dirty condition, the switch to additive oil should be deferred untilafter engine has been overhauled. When changing from mineral oil to additive or compoundedoil, after several hundred hours of operation on mineral oil, take the following precautionarysteps:

1.DONOTMIXadditive oil andmineral oil. Drainmineral oil fromengine, change filter and fillwith additive oil.

2. DO NOT operate engine longer than FIVE HOURS before again changing oil.

3.Check oil filter for evidence of sludge or plugging. CHANGEoil andREPLACEoil filter ele-ment every 10 HOURS if sludge is evident. Resume normal oil drain periods after sludge condi-tions improve.

YourMooneyServiceCenterwill changeengineoil in addition toperformingall other serviceandinspection procedures needed when you bring your airplane in for its 50-hour; 100-hour, orannual inspections.

--CAUTION--Excessive oil sludge buildup indicates that the oil system needs servicing at less than

50-hour intervals.

When changing or adding oil, the following grades of oil are recommended:

Multi--Viscosity 15W--50 or 20W--50 *. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

* Refer to the latest edition of TCMMaintenance and Operators Manual for approved brands ofoil.

Mooney ServiceCenter’s stock approved brands of lubricating oil and all consumablematerialsnecessary to service your airplane.

INDUCTION AIR FILTER

The importance of keeping the induction air filter clean cannot be over--emphasized. A cleanfilter promotes fuel economyand longer engine life. Thedry--type filter canusually bewashedsixto eight times before replacement is necessary. Replace the paper induction air filter every 500HOURS or at ONE YEAR intervals, whichever occurs first.

1. To clean the dry--type induction air filter:

a.) Remove engine cowling.

b.) Remove filter element.

c.) Direct a jet of air from inside of filter out (opposite normal airflow). Cover entire filterarea with air jet.

--CAUTION--Do not use a compressor unit with a nozzle pressure greater than 100 PSI.

d.) After cleaning, inspect filter for damage. Discard if filter or gasket is damaged.

NOTE:If filter shows an accumulation of carbon, soot, or oil, continue with cleaning

steps “e” through “h.”

e.) Soak filter in non--sudsing detergent for 15 minutes; then agitate filter back and forthfor two to five minutes to free filter element of deposits.

NOTE:A Donaldson D-1400 Filter Cleaner is also recommended. Do not use solvents.

f.) Rinse filter element with a stream of clear water until rinse water is clear.

g.) Dry filter thoroughly. Do not use a light bulb or air heated above 180o F. for filter drying.

h.) Inspect for damage and ruptures by holding light bulb inside filter. If damage is evident,replace filter with a new one.

GEAR & TIRES

Theaircraft is equippedwith6-ply, Type III, standard--brand tiresand tubes.Keepmaingear tiresinflated at 42 PSI and the nose tire at 49 PSI for maximum service life. Proper inflation will mini-mize tire wear and impact damage. Visually inspect tires during pre-flight for cracks, rupturesand worn spots. Avoid taxi speeds that require heavy braking or fast turns. Keep the gear andexposed gear retraction system components free of mud and ice to prevent retraction interfer-ence and binding. It is recommended that retraction/extension cycles (5 minimum) be done anytime any tire is replaced to assure that no interference exists during the cycle.

--CAUTION--After any landing, other than a smooth touchdown and rollout, when aircraft is above3200 Lbs (1,452 Kg), the aircraft should undergo the Gear System Operational Inspec-tion as outlined in M20R OVATION Service and Maintenance Manual, No. 161, Chapter

32-30-01.

The gear warning VOICE ALERTmay be checked in flight by retarding throttle with the gear up.The gear warning VOICE ALERT should sound when throttle is positioned 1/4 to 3/8 inch fromidle (while gear is up).

BATTERIES

The two 24-volt, 10 ampere-hour electrical sealed storage batteries are located in the tailcone,aft of baggage compartment bulkhead, accessible through left and right side tailcone accesspanels.

To service batteries, remove tailcone access cover(s) to gain access to battery(ies). Check ter-minals and connectors for corrosion.

Keep battery at full charge to prevent freezing in cold weather and to prolong service life.

--CAUTION--Alternator and voltage regulator operate only as a one-polarity system. Be sure the

polarity is correct when connecting a charger or booster battery.

If corrosion is present, flush battery, shelf and mounting area with a solution of baking soda andwater. Keep cable connections clean and tightly fastened.

HYDRAULIC BRAKE RESERVOIR SYSTEM

Thebrake systemhydraulic reservoir is located on the tailconebulkhead, forwardof theavionicscomponents. To service, remove the left side tailcone access panel and check fluid level every50 HOURS of operation. Fluid level should be no higher than two (2) inches (5 cm) below fillercap.Useonly hydraulic fluid (Red) conforming to specificationMIL-H-5606.DONOTFILL reser-voir while parking brake is set.

MAINTENANCE

ENGINE PERFORMANCE CHECKS

When the aircraft leaves the factory the IO-550-G(6) engine has been properly tuned and willperformat optimumefficiency. To insure that the engine is continuing to perform properly certainmaintenanceaction should beperformedduring the100HOURorANNUAL inspection orwhen-ever it is suspected that engine performance is not correct.

Refer to M20R OVATION SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL or TCM maintenancemanuals for specific maintenance actions to adjust engine, if necessary.

PROPELLER CARE

The high stresses to which propeller blades are subjected makes their careful inspection andmaintenance vitally important. Check blades for nicks, cracks or indications of other damagebefore each flight. Nicks tend to cause high stress concentrations in the bladeswhich, if ignored,may result in cracks. It is very important that all nicks and scratches be repaired prior to flight. It isnot unusual for propeller blades to have some end play or fore and aft movement as a result ofmanufacturing tolerances in the parts. This has no adverse effect on propeller performance oroperation. With the first turn, centrifugal force firmly seats the blades, rigidly and positivelyagainst the retention bearing in the propeller hub.

Pre-flight inspection of the propeller blades should include, in addition to the foregoing, an occa-sionalwipingwith an cloth soaked in kerosene.NEVERUSEANALKALINECLEANERONTHEBLADES.Routine propeller servicing is described in the latest revision of Hartzell Manual 115N (PropellerOwners Manual).Your Mooney Service Center will answer any questions you may have concerning blade repairand inspection.

EXTERIOR CARE

As with any paint applied to a metal surface, an initial curing period is necessary for developingthe desired qualities of durability and appearance. Therefore, DO NOT APPLY WAX TO THENEWAIRCRAFTEXTERIORUNTILTWOORTHREEMONTHSAFTERDELIVERY.Wax sub-stances will seal paint from the air and prevent curing. Wash the exterior to prevent dirt fromworking into the curing paint. Hold buffing to a minimum until curing is complete and there is nodanger of disturbing the undercoat.

--CAUTION--Before washing the exterior, be certain the brake discs are covered, a pitot cover is in

place, and all static-air buttons are masked off.Remove grease or oil from the exterior bywipingwith a cotton cloth saturated in kerosene. Flushaway loose dirt and mud deposits before washing the exterior with an aircraft--type washingcompound mixed in warm water. Use soft cleaning cloths or a chamois, and USE ONLY MILDLIQUIDTYPEDETERGENTS, avoid harsh or abrasive detergents thatmight scratch or corrodethe surface. It is essential that ALL CLEANING COMPOUNDS AND APPLICATION CLOTHSBE FREE OF ABRASIVES, GRIT, OR OTHER FOREIGN MATTER. Use a pre-wax cleaner toremove a heavy oxidation film. For non-oxidized or pre-cleaned surfaces, apply a good exteriorfinish wax recommended for protection of urethane enamel finishes. Carefully follow themanufacturer’s instructions. A heavier coating of wax on the leading edge of the wings, empen-nage, and nose section will help reduce drag and abrasion in these areas.

If fuel, hydraulic fluid or any other dye-containing substance is found on the exterior paint, washthe area at once to prevent staining.

Before wiping windows or windshield, flush exterior with clear water to remove particles of dirt.Household window cleaning compounds should NOT be used; some contain abrasives or sol-vents which could harm Plexiglass. Any commercial anti-static Plexiglass cleaner is recom-mended for cleaning and polishing the windshield and windows.

INTERIOR CARE

Normal household cleaning practices are recommended for routine interior care. Frequentlyvacuum clean seats, carpets, fabric, side panels and headliner to remove asmuch surface dustanddirt as possible.Usemild soapandwater towipe downUltraleather (IZIT Leather) surfaces .Woolite,mixed1partWoolite to 3partswatermaybeused. Allow toair dry or useamediumheatsetting of a hair dryer. Other type cleaners are not recommended at this time. Refer to M20ROVATION 2 GX Service and Maintenance Manual for additional cleaning solutions.

--CAUTION--Never use benzene, carbon tetrachloride, acetone, or gasoline for cleaning Plexiglassor interior panels. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using com-

mercial cleaning and finishing compounds.

Foam type shampoos may be used for routine cleaning of carpets. To minimize carpet wetting,keep foam type cleaners as dry as possible and gently rub in circles. Use vacuum cleaner toremove foam and dry thematerials. Grease spots, on carpet, should be removed with jelly-typespot lifter. Do not saturate carpet with a solution which could damage backing materials.

Use a damp cloth to clean metal surfaces.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC TOPICS

FLIGHT PLANNING

FAR Part 91 requires that each pilot in command, before beginning a flight, familiarize himselfwith all available information concerning that flight.

All pilots are urged to obtain a complete preflight briefing. This would consist of weather; local,enroute and destination, plus alternates, enroute navaid information. Also airport runways ac-tive, length of runways, takeoff and landing distances for the airplane for conditions expectedshould be known.

The prudent pilot will review his planned enroute track and stations andmake a list for quick ref-erence. It is strongly recommended a flight plan be filedwith Flight ServiceStations even thoughthe flight may be VFR. Also, advise Flight Service Stations of changes or delays of one hour ormore and remember to close the flight plan at destination.

Thepilotmust be completely familiarwith the performance of the airplaneand performancedatain the airplane manuals and placards. The resultant effect of temperature and pressure altitudemust be taken into account in determining performance if not accounted for on the charts. Appli-cable FAA manuals must be aboard the airplane at all times including the weight and balanceforms and equipment lists.

The airplanemust be loaded so as not to exceed the weight and the weight and balance loadingcenter of gravity (c.g.) limitations. Also, that at least minimum fuel for takeoff is aboard and suffi-cient for the trip, plus reserves. Oil in the engines should be checked and filled as required.

INSPECTIONS - MAINTENANCE

In addition tomaintenance inspections andpreflight information requiredbyFARPart 91, a com-plete pre-flight inspection is imperative. It is the responsibility of the owner and operator to as-sure that the airplane is maintained in an airworthy condition and proper maintenance recordsare kept.

While the following items can not substitute for the pre-flight specified for each type of airplane,they will serve as reminders of general items that should be checked.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS CAUTIONARY NOTICE

Airplanes operated for Air Taxi or other than normal operation and airplanes operated in humidtropics or cold and damp climates, etc., may needmore frequent inspections for wear, corrosionandor lack of lubrication. In theseareas periodic inspections should be performeduntil the oper-ator can set his own inspection periods based on experience.

NOTE:The required periods do not constitute a guarantee that the item will reach theperiod without malfunction, as the aforementioned factors cannot be controlled

by the manufacturer.

Corrosion, and its effects, must be treated at the earliest possible opportunity. A clean dry sur-face is virtually immune to corrosion.Makesure that all drain holes remain unobstructed.Protec-tive films and sealants help to keep corrosive agents from contacting metallic surfaces. Corro-sion inspections should be made most frequently under high-corrosion-risk operatingconditions, such as in regions of heavy airborne salt concentrations (e.g., near the sea) andhigh-humidity areas (e.g., tropical regions).

FLIGHT OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The pilot should be thoroughly familiar with all information published by the manufacturer con-cerning the airplane. The pilot is required by FAA to operate in accordance with the FAR’s andthe FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual and/or placards installed.

TURBULENT WEATHER

A complete weather briefing prior to beginning a flight is the start of assurance of a safe trip. Up-dating of weather information enroute is another assurance. However, the wise pilot also knowsweather conditions change quickly at times and treats weather forecasting as professional ad-vice rather than as absolute fact. He obtains all the advice he can, but still stays alert throughknowledge of weather changes, observations, and conditions.

Plan the flight to avoid areas of severe turbulence and thunderstorms. It is not always possible todetect individual storm areas or find the in between clear areas.

Thunderstorms, squall lines and violent turbulence should be regardedas extremely dangerousand MUST be avoided. Hail and tornadic wind velocities can be encountered in thunderstormsthat can destroy any airplane, just as tornados destroy nearly everything in their path on theground.

A roll cloud ahead of a squall line or thunderstorm is visible evidence of violent turbulence, how-ever, the absence of a roll cloud should not be interpreted as denoting the lack of turbulence.

FLIGHT IN TURBULENT AIR

Even though flight in severe turbulence is to be avoided, flight in turbulent air may be encoun-tered under certain conditions. Flying through turbulent air presents two basic problems, to bothof which the answer is PROPER AIRSPEED. On the one hand, if you maintain an excessiveairspeed, you run the risk of structural damageor failure; on theother hand, if yourairspeed is toolow, youmay stall. If turbulence encountered in cruise or descent becomes uncomfortable to thepilot or passengers, the best procedure is to reduce speed to the maneuvering speed, which islisted in theLimitationsSectionof theFAAApprovedAirplaneFlightManual andPilotsOperatingHandbook. This speed gives the best assurance of avoiding excessive stress loads, and at thesame time providing margin against inadvertent stalls due to gusts.

Beware of overcontrolling in attempting to correct for changes in altitude; applying control pres-sure abruptly will build up G-forces rapidly and could cause damaging structural stress loads.You shouldwatch particularly your angle of bank,making turns aswide and shallow as possible,and be equally cautious in applying forward or back pressure to keep the nose level. Maintainstraight and level attitude in either up or down drafts. Use trim sparingly to avoid being grosslymistrimmed as the vertical air columns change velocity and direction.

MOUNTAIN FLYING

Avoid flight at low altitudes over mountainous terrain, particularly near the lee slopes.

-- OBSERVE PUBLISHED MINIMUM ENROUTE ALTITUDES (MEA) --

If the wind velocity near the level of the ridge is in excess of 25 knots and approximately perpen-dicular to the ridge,mountain wave conditions are likely over and near the lee slopes. If thewindvelocity at the level of the ridge exceeds 50 knots, a strong mountain wave is probable withstrong up and down drafts and severe or extreme turbulence. The worst turbulence will be en-countered in and below the rotor zone which is usually 8 to 10 miles down wind from the ridge.This zone is characterized by the presence of “roll clouds” if sufficient moisture is present; alto--cumulus standing lenticular clouds are also visible signs that a mountain wave exists, but theirpresence is likewise dependent onmoisture.Mountainwave turbulence can, of course, occur indry air and the absence of such clouds should not be taken as any assurance that mountainwave turbulence will not be encountered. A mountain wave down draft may exceed the climbcapability of your airplane.

-- AVOID MOUNTAIN WAVE DOWN DRAFTS --

VFR - LOW CEILINGS

If you are not instrument rated, avoid “VFROn Top” and “Special VFR”. Being caught above anundercastwhenanemergency descent is required (or at destination) is an extremely hazardousposition for the VFR pilot.

Accepting a clearance out of certain airport control zones with nominimum ceiling and one-milevisibility as permitted with “Special VFR” is not a recommended practice for VFR pilots.

Avoid areas of low ceilings and restricted visibility unless you are instrument proficient and havean instrument equipped airplane. Then proceed with caution and have planned alternates.

VFR - AT NIGHT

When flying VFR at night, in addition to the altitude appropriate for the direction of flight, pilotsshould maintain a safe minimum altitude as dictated by terrain, obstacles such as TV towers, orcommunities in the area flown. This is especially true inmountainous terrain, where there is usu-ally very little ground reference and absoluteminimum clearance is 2,000 feet. Don’t depend onyour being able to see obstacles in time to miss them. Flight on dark nights over sparsely popu-lated country can be almost the same as IFR and should be avoided by untrained pilots.

VERTIGO - DISORIENTATION

Disorientation can occur in a variety of ways. During flight, inner ear balancingmechanisms aresubjected to varied forces not normally experienced on the ground. This combined with loss ofoutside visual reference can cause vertigo. False interpretations (illusions) result andmay con-fuse the pilot’s conception of the attitude and position of his airplane.

Under VFR conditions the visual sense, using the horizon as a reference, can override the illu-sions. Under low visibility conditions (night, fog, clouds, haze, etc.) the illusions predominate.Only through awareness of these illusions, and proficiency in instrument flight procedures, canan airplane be operated safely in a low visibility environment.

Flying in fog, dense haze or dust, cloud banks, or very low visibility, with strobe lights, and partic-ularly rotating beacons turned on frequently causes vertigo. They should be turned off in theseconditions, particularly at night.

All pilots should check the weather and use good judgment in planning flights. The VFR pilotshould use extra caution in avoiding low visibility conditions.

Motion sickness often precedes or accompanies disorientation and may further jeopardize theflight.

Stalls, and slow flight should be practiced at safe altitudes to allow for recovery. Any of thesemaneuvers should be performed at an altitude in excess of 6,000 feet above ground level. Spinsmay be dangerous and should be avoided. In fact, most airplanes are placarded against inten-tional spins. Spins are preceded by stalls. A prompt and decisive stall recovery protects againstinadvertent spins. All airplanes are required to have flight characteristics that give adequate ad-vance warning of an impending stall or they must be equipped with an artificial stall warning de-vice.Keep theartificial system ingoodworkingorder.Donot operate the airplanewith thedevicemade inoperative by the use of circuit breakers or other means.

Stalls should be practiced at safe altitudes for ample recovery. Should a spin be encounteredinadvertently, spin recovery should be initiated immediately.

As stall attitude is approached, be alert. Take prompt corrective action to avoid the stall or if youare practicing stalls, react the moment the stall occurs. The following is suggested:

1.Donot carry passengers. Be certain that the airplane’s center of gravity is as far forward aspossible. Forward CG aids spin recovery.

2. Be certain that both student pilot and instructor pilot have a full set of operable controls.

3. Conduct such practice at altitudes in excess of 6,000 ft. above ground level.

Remember that an airplane at or near traffic pattern altitude probably will not recover froma spinbefore impact with the ground.When descending to traffic pattern altitude and during operationin the traffic pattern and approach, maintain a safe margin above stall speed. During takeoff orgo-around, be especially careful to avoid departure stalls associated with turns at low speed.Maintain speeds recommended in this handbook (Section II & V).

STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR SPIN RECOVERY

In the event of an inadvertent spin, the following recovery procedure should be used:

S Throttle RETARD to IDLE

S Ailerons NEUTRAL

S Rudder Apply FULL RUDDER opposite the direction of spin.

S Control Wheel FORWARD of neutral in a brisk motion to break stall.

S Additional FORWARD elevator control may be required if rotation does not stop.

S Flaps (If extended) RETRACT as soon as possible

S Rudder NEUTRALIZE when spin stops.

S Control Wheel Smoothly MOVE AFT to bring the nose up to a level flight attitude after spinhas stopped.

VORTICES - WAKE TURBULENCE

Every airplane generates wakes of turbulence while in flight. Part of this is from the propeller orjet engine and part from the wing tip vortices. The larger and heavier the airplane the morepronounced wake turbulence will be. Wing tip vortices from large heavy airplanes are very se-vere at close range, degenerating with time, wind and space. These are rolling in nature fromeachwing tip. In test, vortex velocities of 133 knots have been recorded. Exhaust velocities fromlarge airplanes at takeoff have been measured at 25 MPH, 2100 feet behind medium, large air-planes.

Encountering the rolling effect of wing tip vortices within two minutes or less after passage oflarge airplanes is hazardous to light airplanes. This roll effect can exceed themaximum counterroll obtainable in an airplane.

The turbulent areasmay remain for as long as threeminutes ormore, depending onwind condi-tions, and may extend several miles behind the airplane. Plan to fly slightly above or to the upwind side of the other airplane’s flight path.

Becauseof thewide variety of conditions that canbeencountered, there is no set rule to follow toavoidwake turbulence in all situations. However, theAeronautical InformationManual goes intoconsiderable detail for a number of wake turbulence avoidance procedures. Use prudent judg-ment and allow ample clearance time and space following or crossing the wake turbulence ofother airplanes in all takeoff, climb out, approach and landing operations. Be observant of waketurbulence from all aircraft, regardless of size.

TheAeronautical InformationManual contains a section onwake turbulence. FAAAdvisory Cir-cular AC 90-23F is also recommended reading.

TAKE-OFF AND LANDING CONDITIONS

When takingoff on runwayscoveredwithwater or freezingslush, the landinggear should remainextended for approximately ten seconds longer than normal, allowing the wheels to spin anddissipate the freezing moisture. The landing gear should then be cycled up, then down, waitapproximately five seconds and then retract again. Cautionmust be exercised to assure that theentire operation is performed below Maximum Landing Gear Operating Air speed.

Use caution when landing on runways that are covered by water or slush which cause hydro-planing (aquaplaning), a phenomenon that renders braking and steering ineffective because ofthe lack of sufficient surface friction. Snow and ice covered runways are also hazardous. Thepilot should be alert to the possibility of the brakes freezing.

Use caution when taking off or landing in gusty winds. Be aware of special wind conditionscaused by buildings or other obstructions located near runway in a crosswind pattern.

MEDICAL FACTS FOR PILOTSGENERAL

Modern industry’s record in providing reliable equipment is very good.When the pilot enters theairplane, he becomes an integral part of the man-machine system. He is just as essential to asuccessful flight as the control surfaces. To ignore the pilot in pre-flight planning would be assenseless as failing to inspect the integrity of the control surfaces or any other vital part of themachine. The pilot himself has the responsibility for determining his reliability prior to enteringthe airplane for flight.While piloting an airplane, an individual should be free of conditions whichare harmful to alertness, ability to make correct decisions, and rapid reaction time.

FATIGUE

Fatiguegenerally slows reaction timesandcauses foolish errors due to inattention. In addition tothe most common cause of fatigue, insufficient rest and loss of sleep, the pressure of business,financial worries and family problems, can be contributing factors. If your fatigue is a factor priorto a given flight, don’t fly. To prevent fatigue effects during long flights, keep mentally active bymaking ground checks and radio-navigation position plots.

HYPOXIA

Hypoxia in simple terms is a lack of sufficient oxygen to keep the brain and other body tissuesfunctioning properly. There is wide individual variation in susceptibility to hypoxia. In addition toprogressively insufficient oxygen at higher altitudes, anything interfering with the blood’s abilityto carry oxygen can contribute to hypoxia (anemias, carbonmonoxide, and certain drugs). Also,alcohol and various drugs decrease the brain’s tolerance to hypoxia. Your body has no built inalarm system to let you knowwhen you are not getting enough oxygen. It is impossible to predictwhen or where hypoxiawill occur during a flight, or how it will manifest itself. Amajor early symp-tom of hypoxia is an increased sense of well-being (referred to as euphoria). This progresses toslow reactions, impaired thinking ability, unusual fatigue, and dull headache feeling.

Symptomsareslowbutprogressive, insidious in onset, andaremostmarkedat altitudesstartingabove10,000 feet. Night vision, however, can be impaired startingat altitudes lower than10,000feet. Heavy smokers may experience early symptoms of hypoxia at altitudes lower than non--smokers. Use oxygen on flights above 10,000 feet and at anytime when symptoms appear.

HYPERVENTILATION

Hyperventilation or over-breathing, is a disturbance of respiration that may occur in individualsas a result of emotional tension or anxiety. Under conditions of emotional stress, fright, or pain,breathing rate may increase, causing increased lung ventilation, although the carbon dioxideoutput of the body cells does not increase. As a result, carbon dioxide is “washed out” of theblood. Themost common symptomsof hyperventilation are: dizziness; hot and cold sensations;tingling of the hands, legs and feet; tetany; nausea; sleepiness; and finally unconsciousness.

Should symptomsoccur that cannot definitely be identified as either hypoxia or hyperventilation,try threeor four deepbreaths of oxygen.Thesymptomsshould improvemarkedly if the conditionwas hypoxia (recovery from hypoxia is rapid). If the symptoms persist, discontinue use of oxy-gen; consciously slow your breathing rate until symptoms clear; then resume normal breathingrate. Normal breathing can be aided by talking aloud.

ALCOHOL

Commonsenseandscientific evidencedictate that younot fly as acrewmemberwhile under theinfluence of alcohol. Even small amounts of alcohol in the human system can adversely affectjudgment and decision making abilities. FAR 91.11 states “(a) No person may act as a crewmember - (1) within 8 hours after the consumption of any alcoholic beverage.”

Tests indicate that as a general rule, 2 ounces (.06 liters) of alcohol at 15,000 feet produce thesameadverse effects as 6 ounces (.18 liters) at sea level. In otherwords, the higher you get, “thehigher you get.”

DRUGS

Self-medication or takingmedicine in any formwhen youare flying canbe extremely hazardous.Evensimplehomeorover-the-counter remediesdrugs suchasaspirin, antihistamines, cold tab-lets, coughmixtures, laxatives, tranquilizers,andappetitesuppressors,mayseriously impair thejudgmentandcoordinationneededwhile flying.Thesafest rule is toTAKENOMEDICINEbeforeor while flying, except on the advice of your Aviation Medical Examiner.

SCUBA DIVING

Flying shortly after any prolonged scuba diving could be dangerous. Under the increased pres-sure of thewater, excess nitrogen is absorbed into your system. If sufficient timehas not elapsedprior to take off for your system to rid itself of this excess gas, you may experience the bends ataltitudes even under 10,000 feet, where most light planes fly.
