ACTUAL BOOK REVIEW FEEDBACK

"Zef, Almost done with your book! I'm reading slower so it won't be done! It's a great read not only for Mooniacs, but for anyone who wants to be a plane owner. " Bill Custer

"Dear Mr. Zephro, Your new book is the most informative that I have read not just about Mooneys but about the ownership process for any brand of airplane. I look forward to reading the rest of the series once you write those." Ed Harris

"Wow, what an interesting and informative book! You've made me rethink the buying process and I am grateful not just for that, but for all of the articles you have written about Mooney's and flying in general. You have a way to help make people think. Please keep writing!" Art Mingle

"Mr. Z, This is the best 40 bucks that I have ever spent! There are so many outlined ways to save money while learning so much about airplanes in general and I believe that I'll be a better pilot for it. Keep up the great work and good luck with your new book" Jim Dougherty

While Check Lists may vary, it is good to establish a guideline to help insure your bird is READY to FLY, keep flying, and get her down in almost any scenario. However, do I use checklists? Not often. Why, because I had memorized the really important stuff years ago and I have committed to memory almost anything that could happen that I have control over, and am confident that I can make the adjustments to procedure in a matter of seconds. Don't get me wrong, checklists have their place, but I can think back to at least half a dozen times that had I taken the time to read the checklist, it may have been too late. Make your own decision, keep checklists handy in your airplane, but I feel it important that you commit to memory as part of your soul what to do in case this or that occurs and you may not be afforded the time to react by reading a checklist. Use these checklists as guidelines only and commit them to memory. It is well worth that effort, so do it like homework and have someone test your knowledge. I have included checklists for the following Mooney models: M20C, M20F, M20K-252, M20R-Ovation2. You may garner knowledge from reading them all and applying what you've read to your particular make and model. With the exception of speed differences, you can apply most emergency operating procedures to any Mooney or many other aircraft in the same type. Should you wish to copy and print these check lists, print them out on the best quality your printer has, and then take them to your local copy place and have them covered in plastic for best longevity.

M20C Checklist (with exception to cruise speeds and lack of carb heat, can be applied to the M20E)

2. Tap Brakes briefly and then Retract landing gear as soon as safely airborne and in good control.

3. Retract Flaps upon clearing obstacles and IAS of 80 to 90 MPH.

4. Reduce Throttle to 25 “MP w/i 2 minutes.

Fuel Consumption Approximations

75% Best Power 11.5 GPH 65% Best Power 10.5 GPH

75% Best Economy 10.0 GPH 65% Best Economy 9.5 GPH

Best power = 50° C rich of peak EGT Best Economy = Peak EGT (or LOP)

To maintain constant power, correct manifold pressure approximately 0.15" Hg for each 10° variation in temperature from

standard altitude temperature. ADD manifold pressure for air temperatures above standard; SUBTRACT manifold

pressure for temperatures below standard.
