- Typical useful load is 1,000 lbs against a 3,368 lb max takeoff weight, so fuel and passengers must be traded off.
- Confirm Service Bulletins M20-340A (alternator wire) and M20-329 (windscreen fasteners) were done on early serials.

Service bulletins to verify
SB M20-340A (Dec 11, 2019) covers M20V serials 33-0001 thru 33-0018. An alternator wire touched the right exhaust crossover tube and shorted. It is mandatory, before next flight, and calls for a new clamp keeping a 2 in minimum gap to the exhaust tube. SB M20-329 (Nov 21, 2017) adds window fasteners on 33-0002 and 33-0003 within 25 flight hours. Ask for the compliance records.
Equipment and ownership costs
A 2018 listing (serial 33-0007) shows Garmin NXi avionics, GFC700 autopilot, dual alternators and batteries, a 100-gallon fuel system, air conditioning, oxygen and speed brakes. The asking price was 725,000, subject to buyer verification. The 2016 sheet lists Garmin G1000 instead, so avionics vary by year. PistonPower lists the M20 Acclaim Ultra for its hourly maintenance program; Unscheduled is 3 years, up to 600 hours.
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
- Use only 100LL (blue) or 100/130 (green) aviation gasoline. The POH says the pilot is responsible for the correct fuel at each refueling.
- SB M20-340A: inspect the upper alternator wire for chafing, cracks or burnt spots, and the right crossover tube for holes or cracks.
- The 2016 specification sheet is marked preliminary. Verify figures against the POH/AFM for the specific serial; it must be carried in the aircraft.
