AlL right, just how often should an expert Mooney shop check my Mooney?
Experience shows that it is best when you bring us your Mooney once a year, if not twice a year for (besides an annual), a 50-100 hr check if you find yourself in the neighborhood. If not, we strongly, repeat strongly recommend you bring it to us at least every other year for an annual inspection. We find that pending an engine set-up on turbos, gear problems, or re-adjustment of any flight or gear component, most Mooneys can survive every other annual at generic shops. Much longer than that and it shows. The problem is that generic mechanics simply can’t be expected to know where and to what they should be looking for when probing for abnormal wear and tear. If you compare hundreds of Mooneys to each other, like our technicians do, then abnormalities become clearly evident.
