The limitations included in this section have been approved by the Federal Aviation Adminimtion. W e n applicable, limitations associated with optional systems or equipment such as autopilots are included in SECTION IX The airspeeds fisted in the Airspeed @itations chart (Figure 2-1.) and the Airspeed Indicator Markin s chart (Rqure 2-2) are based on k n p e e d Calibration data shown in SECTIONV mth the normal static source. If the abmate stat$ source iqbeing used, ample malgins should be obsewed to allow for the awpeed ~ l i b r s b o nvanstions behveen the normal and alternate stattc sources as shown in SECTION V. Your Mooney is celticated under FAA Type Certificate No. 2A3 as a Mooney M2W. The certificated noiselevel for the M20J at 2WX)Ibs. (1315 Kg.) maximum weight is 80.04 dB(A). No determinat~onhas been made by the Federal Awat~onAdmn~stratlonthat the noise levels of this airplane are or should be acceptable or unacceptable for operation at, into, or out of, any airport.

The inkrmation is presented to enable you to form, in edvance, a definite plan of action for coping with the most probable emergency situations which could occur in the operation of your airplane. As it is not possible to haw a procedure for ell types of emergenciesthat may occur, it is the pilot's responsibility to use sound judgement based on experience and knowledge of the aircraft to determine the best course of adion. Therefore. it is considered mandetory that the pilot read the entire manual, especially this section beforenight. M e n applicable, emergenc procedures essocleted with optional equipment such as autopilots are inclu&d in SECTION IX I NOTE I - All aimpaeds in this section am indicated (IAS) and assume zero instrument error unless state+dothsrwirs.

W h the gear extended, flaps retractsd and cowl flaps closed, an airspeed of 132 knots will also give approximately the same maximum rate of descent. At 132 knots and the gear extended, the angle of descent will be reater, thus resulting in less horizontal distance trawled than a descent at 196 knots. A8ditionally, a descent at 132 knots will provide a smoother ride and a safer airspeed in the event air turbulence is encountered, resulting in less pilot workload.

VUth ice accumulation of 114 inch or more on the airframe, be prepared for a significant increase in aircmR weight and drag. This will result in SQnificantly reduced cruise and climb performance and higher stall speeds. Plan for higher approach speeds requiring higher power settings and longer landing rolls. -..---- - CAUTION -- - m e - . . Stall warning system may be inoperative. The defroster ma not clear ice from windshield. If necessary open pilot's storm window for visibility in lanAng approach and touchdown. VUth ice accumulations of any amount, use no more than 15' flaps for approach and landing. fly approach speeds at least 10 knots higher than normal, expect a higher stall speed resulting in higher touchdown speed with longer landing roll. Use normal flare and touchdown technique. Missed approaches SHOULD BE AVOIDED whenever possible because of severiy re- duced clmb performance. If a go-around is mandatory, apply FULL POWER, retract landing gear when obstacles are cleared; maintain 90 WAS and retract wing flaps.

The flight test data has been corrected !o lnternational Standard Atmosphere conditions and then expanded analytically to cowr various alrplane gmss weights, operating altitudes and outside air temperatures. It is not possible to make allowances in the charls for varylng levels of pilot technique, proficiency or en!h'c)nmental conditions. Mechanical or aerodynamic changes are not authorized because they can affect performance or flight characteristics of the airplane. m e effect of such things as soft runways, slo ed runways, winds alolt or airplane configu- ration chan as must be evaluated by the plot. Howewr, the performance data on the charts can %eduplicsted, by following the dated procedures, in a property maintained, standard MZOJ. Examples are giwn to show how each chart is used. The only charts with no example are those where such an example of use wouM be repetiiiw. To obtain effect of altitude and OATon aircraft performance: 1. Set altimeter to 29.92 in.Hg. and read "Pressure Altitude". 2. Using the OATgrid forthe applicable chart, read corresponding effect of OATon performance. - " # - - - - - CAUTION -- - - - . . # - Be s u n to mtum to local alimeter setting i n calculating aircraft elevation above sea kvel. OPERAnONAL PROCEDURES FOR MAXIMUM FUE EFFICIENCY For maximuim fuel efficient in the M20J, m er mbdure leaning during cruise flighl must be accomnlished. The IO-&A~BB lor P ~ & ~ - A ~ B B D ~ enolne in the M2RI has been designed io attain maximum fuel eficknc , at desired ciuise"power, at 14OC rich of peak EGT. EGT is usual1 a more accurate inchation of engine operation and fuel bum than indicaled fuel b w . herefore it is recommended that the mixture be set using EGT as the primary reference instead of setting to a particular fuel flow. The foliowin procedure is recommended for setting cruise power and leaning to best economy at $596 power or less: 1. Alter leveling off, set the manifold pressure and RFM for the desired cruise power in accordance wiih the Cruise Power Schedule as shown In this SECTION. At this point, the mixture contml is at full rich from the climb. 2. Next, slowly move the mixture control toward lean while observing the EGT in- dicator. If leaning the mixlure causes the original manifold pressure setting to change, u,se the throttle to maintain that desired cruise manifold pressure and con- tinue leantng until best economy setting is obtained. 1 PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS 1 RANGE ASSUMPTIONS Range data climb allowance is based on climbing at maximum continuous power to c ~ i s e altitude. Range reserves of 45 minutes at cruise power have been allowed on Range Data. Other conditions used in the Ranges shown are lisled on each chart.
