Pre-Flight
The pre-flight checklist includes essential checks such as ensuring the magnetos are off, mixture is in idle cut-off, circuit breakers are checked, and the gear selector is down. Pilots must also verify that the master switch is on, fuel gauges are checked, and lights are operational. The checklist emphasizes the importance of a complete exterior check before proceeding.
Before Starting
Before starting the engine, pilots must complete a passenger briefing, ensure the master switch is on, and receive ATIS or departure clearance. The checklist includes checks for cowl flaps, fuel selector, and mixture settings. It also instructs to check the prop area for clearance before starting the engine.
Normal Operating Speeds
The checklist provides critical normal operating speeds for the Mooney M20J 201, including stall speeds, rotation speed, best angle and rate of climb, and approach speeds. For example, Vso (stall dirty) is 55 KIAS, and Vy (best rate) is 88 KIAS.
After Take-Off
After reaching a safe altitude, the checklist instructs pilots to raise the gear and flaps, set climb power to 26" Hg and 2600 RPM, and check engine instruments and vacuum levels.
Shutdown
During shutdown, the checklist requires pilots to set the brakes, return the trim to take-off position, and turn off all radios and electrical equipment. It emphasizes securing the aircraft after landing.
Safety notes
- Ensure the prop area is clear before starting the engine.
- Check that the gear selector is down before take-off.
