Inspection items listed for the M20U
The M20U uses a fuel-injected engine. Inspect the injection system, screens and nozzles, and check the alternate air door. Check unmetered fuel pressure, and flight-check the gear-up warning horn. Garmin G1000 gets a visual inspection. GFC700 autopilot servos, cables and wiring are checked if fitted.
Oxygen and time-limited items
For AVOX oxygen systems, do a bottle hydrostatic test every 3 years and a regulator overhaul every 6 years. Composite bottles expire at 15 years. Replace cannulas and clear masks every 200 hours. Also check ELT, altimeter and transponder due dates, and magneto overhaul intervals.
Seat cushion service instruction
Service Instruction M20-127 (January 23, 2018) applies to M20U serial numbers 32-0001 and 32-0002. It trims the front seat-back cushions so the seat height handle clears the bottom cushion. Compliance is as required. Mooney warranted 6 hours of labor for aircraft under factory warranty.
