Overview
The Mooney M20S Eagle is a four-seat single-engine piston aircraft built from 1999 to 2008. It was Mooney's entry-level model when introduced. It uses the long fuselage and a 244-hp Continental IO-550-G. Mooney quotes 175 kt true airspeed at max gross weight, and an AOPA flight test showed 181 kt.
- Four seats, 244-hp Continental IO-550-G, two-blade McCauley prop, 3,200 lb max gross weight.
- 75 gal usable fuel. An AOPA test flight showed 181 kt true at 7,500 ft on about 13.5 gph at 75% power.
- Check logs for Service Bulletins M20-294 (throttle arm nut) and M20-310A (throttle bracket, serials 30-0063 to 30-0065).
- Engine setup values were revised by Service Instruction M20-107. Confirm the engine was set up to them.

Airframe and engine
The Eagle has a welded steel-tube cabin cage and a wing with a continuous tip-to-tip carry-through spar. It has a fuselage 20 inches longer than the Allegro it replaced. It also has dual batteries as standard. The 244-hp engine turns at 2,400 rpm in cruise, and AOPA expected it to reach its 2,000-hour TBO.
Original avionics (1999)
Standard equipment was a Bendix/King navcom with glideslope, a KLN89B IFR GPS, a transponder, a PS Engineering PMA 7000 audio panel, and an S-Tec System Thirty two-axis autopilot. Moritz engine and power gauges were new for 1999. Check what is actually installed, because aircraft may have been upgraded.
Service history to verify
SB M20-294 covers all M20S. It requires replacing the throttle body arm retaining nut (new MS21042-5, torque 100-120 in-lb) within the next 10 flight hours. SB M20-310A covers M20S serials 30-0063 to 30-0065 and checks the throttle control bracket mounting. SI M20-107 changed the IO-550-G idle and full-power fuel-flow setup.
Summary written by AI from the source document. Check the original before relying on it. See which parts of Sprinkle are written by AI.
Safety notes
- SB M20-294: a loose throttle body control arm was reported in the field. Confirm the nut replacement and the log entry.
- SB M20-310A: an incorrectly mounted throttle control bracket was reported. Verify compliance for serials 30-0063 to 30-0065.
- SI M20-107 full-power fuel flow for the Eagle is 129 to 131 pph. Ask whether the engine was set up to this.
