HOW MUCH DO YOU WANNA BET that
the likelihood of your Mooney not being airworthy is great?WHAT!? NOW WHAT?!
Well, this not only applies to Mooney's, but to
most aircraft. We know our birds well enough not to need a PLACARD for
everything in and out, but did you know that a single missing placard
technically and legally renders your aircraft NON-AIRWORTHY? That it does, so
you need to check your aircraft for the correct markings starting with the
compass error card in which many are missing or unreadable. For those who's
compass cards are there but barely visible from fading, MAKE A COPY NOW and
replace the old one. ADDITIONALLY, there are umpteen interior placards and a
bunch of exterior ones required by the FAA to reflect that which the aircraft
manufacturer be installed as original and standard equipment. Below is an email
I received recently which helped remind me to bring this OFTEN OVERLOOKED
mandate to my attention:
>>>Hello, do you know where I can find instrument panel
placards for a 1963 Mooney 20-C?
Also, I found your articles VERY informative. My 1963
manual says very little about how to operate, land etc. my Mooney. I have found
a wealth of information on your website!
Thanks, Eileen
REPLY:
Hello Eileen. Nice to hear from
you and thanks for the compliment on our website. We care about Mooney types
like you!
The lack of Placards is prevalent
in many Mooney aircraft and those owners don’t realize that without them, the
aircraft is not airworthy.
The Maintenance/Parts/Service
manual we provide will give you information on all placards required for your
Mooney. Just click on the Maintenance CD button and make the purchase and I’ll
get that right out to you.
Fly safe,
Richard Zephro

Recent email from one of my favorite Mooney Mechanics:
Richard, I
DIDN’T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING Or Why you use a Mooney savvy shop Or Why you
get a Pre-Purchase Or OH MY GOD!
I received a phone call
asking if I would do a Pre-purchase on a 1966 Mooney M20E and I said sure. A
date and time was agreed upon and the plane arrived as scheduled. She was very
PURTY with her gleaming paint job. The plane was advertised as having a fresh
Majored engine, New Paint and Leather interior (it only had the seats done, no
carpet, or plastic).
I got the books and started
going through them. That is when PURTY turned to NOT SO PURTY.
The first
thing that jumped out at me was the Hartzell Propeller AD 06-18-15 and a
notation in the AD log that said NA by model number. The prop is a Hartzell
HC-C2YK-1BF s/n CH15207. (Note! no suffix)
The next
entry that caught my eye was AD 77-08-06 Oil Cooler next to this AD was the
notation that this was also NA by s/n. The AD applies to all s/n between 407 &
1219 the serial number of this aircraft was in the middle.
Further
search did not show AD 02-26-01 fuel injection lines, having being done and on &
on.
The books
left something to be desired also. There weren’t any mention of oil changes,
AD’s being complied with, and on and on. There was a notation that the nose gear
tubes had been adjusted to the proper specification (see # 2 below)
My
inspection of the aircraft showed the following Discrepancies/Concerns: (taken
directly from the Pre-Purchase report)
1. AD 06-18-15 Hartzell
Propeller Hub.
2.
Nose gear over center out of specification, Spec 10 ft-lb. set at 30+ ft-lb.
3. Nose gear truss bent
beyond limits of 1/32nd, needs to be replaced with OH unit
4. Nose gear trunion needs
over sized bushing
5. Flap pump leaking
6. Left master cylinder
leaking
7. Main
gear lubrication questionable
8. Both main gear leakage
boots missing
9. Adjust right nose gear
and left main gear doors
10. Left rear heater hose needs
replacing
11. VFR Only placard missing
12. Brake hoses brittle and
stiff, need to be replaced
13. Fuel pump overboard line
does not exit the cowl
14. Oil cooler, does not comply
with AD
15. Needs M20-289-000 kit in
aileron links

Three
steel and one chrome cylinder on fresh OH ??
Safety
wire on prop ??
I thought
that it was rather strange to have 3 steel and one Chrome cylinder on a fresh,
25- hour Major Overhaul. However the compressions were great and it had a nice
paint job. We were not able to locate the shop that did the work. The prop was
safety with a single strand of safety wire running from bolt to bolt. When the
owner was contacted he informed us that his mechanic had assured him that
everything was in order and that we must be mistaken. Furthermore the
owner/seller had had a pre-purchase done at a Mooney Service Center less than 25
hours ago. He also said that he had contacted a Prop Shop and that they had
confirmed that the Prop didn’t fall within the AD but when I showed the same
Prop Shop the Prop log they confirmed my findings (God knows I have had enough
Mooney’s fell into that AD). The purchaser said that he would split the cost of
fixing the Discrepancies with the seller. At which the seller insisted there
wasn’t anything wrong with the plane and that he would come and get it. He
actually asked the buyer to deliver it to New Mexico and the buyer declined, as
he didn’t want the liability. It is hard for me to believe that there are people
still out there that buy planes in this condition and then will not believe that
there is something wrong. I’m sure that he thought that the buyer and I had
contrived the story to cheat him out of his PURTY airplane. I’m also sure that
he did not have a pre-purchase done and he only saw the pretty paint job and the
leather seats. Some times I wonder why I keep doing this. I never cease to be
amazed.
After
several days the seller called and said that it would be a while before he could
come get the plane so could I go ahead and do the nose gear repairs which will
include replacing the Truss with an overhaul unit, re-bushing the trunion with
an oversized unit and setting the gear down limits to the proper specifications.
This is a wise decision on his part and may just may keep his Purty airplane off
its nose.
