Type Acceptance Report TAR 96/04 – Mooney M20 Series

empennage for trim, and trailing-link undercarriage legs with rubber suspension. The series has been gradually developed with increases in engine power, fuselage size and features. The have been a large number of marketing names and designations over the years. The original 150 hp M20 “Mark Twenty” established the type’s distinctive profile with a forward-sloping rudder trailing edge. The first development was the M20A with a 180 hp engine, while the M20B was the first variant with all-metal wings. The next (and definitive) model M20C “Mark Twenty One” included an increase in design airspeeds and gross weight, changes to the propeller, governor, exhaust system and heater muff, and continued in production from 1961 through 1978. The M20D was a short-lived economy version with fixed undercarriage. The model M20E was essentially the M20C with a 200 hp engine. The M20F introduced a lengthened fuselage with an enlarged cabin, and has an extra side window. The M20G was basically the M20F with the M20C 180 hp engine. The M20J, introduced in 1977 as the "201" (for 201 mph), was essentially a clean-up of the Model M20F with a new engine and propeller, cowling, windshield and fairings, and increased speeds. The M20J was progressively improved over its 22-year production span, with increased flap and gear limiting speeds, better equipment and updated panel, electric cowl flaps and flush gear doors, among other changes. This results in a range of Flight Manuals for the model. Later versions had the commercial designation MSE. Type Acceptance Report TAR 96/04 – Mooney M20 Series Rev.3 : 13 September 2011 4 The M20M, originally called Sabre and later TLS, was a development of the M20L. This was the Porsche-powered Model PFM, which also introduced the lengthened cabin. The M20M has the 270 hp Lycoming TIO-540 engine and the MCTOW is increased to 3200 lb. The M20R “Ovation” is essentially similar to the M20M except that it uses the Continental IO-550 engine de-rated to 280 hp. It also has a restyled interior and new instrument panel layout. The Ovation 2, serial numbers 29-0183 and 29-0200 and on, introduced a new two- bladed propeller which offered lower weight and increased cruise speeds. 4. Type Data The type data requirements of NZCAR Part 21B Para §21.43 have been satisfied by supply of the following documents, or were already held by the CAA: (1) ICAO Type certificate: FAA Type Certificate No. 2A3 FAA Aircraft Specification No. 2A3 at Revision 47 dated Jul 31, 2002 – Model M20C approved 20 October 1961 – Model M20E approved 4 September 1963 – Model M20F approved 25 July 1966 – Model M20G approved 13 November 1967 – Model M20J approved 27 September 1976 – Model M20M approved 28 June 1989 – Model M20R approved 30 June 1994 (2) Airworthiness design requirements: (i) Airworthiness Design Standards: The certification basis of the Mooney M20 Series is CAR 3, effective Nov. 1, 1949, as amended to May 18, 1954, with some updated CAR 3 paragraphs for the Model M20F and the inclusion of some FAR 23 provisions for the Models M20J and later, as listed under the individual model details on the TCDS. This is an acceptable certification basis in accordance with NZCAR Part 21B Para §21.4, because CAR 3 is the predecessor to FAR 23 which is the basic standard for small airplanes called up under Appendix C. There are no non-compliances and no special conditions have been prescribed by the Director under §21.23.
