    This is a full, detailed video review about Mooney M20K 262 which is similar to the 252 - considered the best Mooney model. This turbo Mooney can fly 28,000ft, over 200 knot speeds while using only 12-13 gallons of fuel per hour.

    Can’t ask for a more thorough review! I flew M20-Js and -Ks back in the late 1980s. Mostly it was the 231, with the fixed wastegate. Very fond of Mooneys!

    The best Mooney ever is the M20R Ovation. Long Body. More room. TKS. Speedbrakes. O2. Faster than the turbo models to 11K. No turbo maintenance. 190 KTAS if you want the speed and fuel burn. 155 KTAS on 11 GPH if you have the time or the winds.

  • @colinwallace5286
    @colinwallace5286 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    A former employer owned an M20, and I got to fly in it a couple of times. Mooneys just seem to be more refined, and boy did it move along, considering it was a four place with only 200hp. What I find interesting is how you basically have to “push” it down to the runway on landing, because of its efficiency. If I had the budget, I would love to own one.

    • @aerolife1646
      @aerolife1646  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You're right. Mooney's are very aerodynamic. When landing, you manage approach speeds and let the energy bleed so it settles without trying to force it.

      @@aerolife1646 sure, here you are 19:30
      This might be indeed air for the cockpit but I really doubt. Most complex aircrafts I know of that have alternate air is a second source of air for the engine that bypasses the air filter in case it is clogged with ice or debris...etc Obviously, needs to be used only if primary air source causes the engine to run rough due to lack of air because the air is not filtered using the alternate air and could absorb fod or debris, dust...etc
      During engine runnup, the alternate air needs to be tested when the engine is running at 1800 or 2000 RPM, whatever the RPM needed for the runnup. Activating the alternate air should cause a drop of RPM and sligth decrease of manifold pressure.
      If this is really that, do not train buyer saying it is extra air for the cockpit because they could use it in the worse moment (during taxi) and could damage the engine. As usually stated, please refer to the POH 😁

You're not shoving your knowledge into people's faces but at the same time it becomes very obvious that you do know what you're talking about..... Experience shows... .. however I do have one complaint.... You need to tell us what the prices of the airplanes are because most people are going to be put off by the fact that if they don't see the price they're going to automatically assume that that person wants a hell of a lot of money for that plane
    .... For myself if I don't see a price I don't deal with it....... It's got to do with wasted time.

    It's nice having Turbo but only if your flying at high altitude but that's slot of maintenance costs during annuals. What's the average cost of this Mooney? I just had my annual on my C model and I can almost bet that the cost I paid is probably half to what it would cost for this Mooney. I love the Mooney don't get me wrong, I would pick Mooney over Piper or Beech any day of the week and twice on Sunday but owning this Mooney a person almost needs to have money coming out their ears compared to my C model.

    • @aerolife1646
      @aerolife1646  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It costs more to operate and maintain Turbo airplanes compared to normally aspirated. In airplanes, it is always a trade-off. But these models are better designed. They don't need a mid-time top overhaul like most others. Also, automatic wastegate help to get the best out of the turbo.

      A 262 is a converted 231 with the TSIO-360-MB engine. The STC was obtained by ModWorks in FL which allowed the MB engine to be installed into the 231. This is not a factory 252 which is why it is called a 262 (a converted aircraft). The Mooney with a Continental TSIO 550 was called a Rocket (aptly named)!
