SECTION IV MOONEY NORMAL PROCEDURES M20TN - - WARNING- - Proper oxygen flow is critical to pilot/passenger safety, especially at altitudes above 20,000 ft. MSL. It is important to closely monitor the face mask hose flow indicator to ensure oxygen is constantly flowing to the mask. A GREEN indica- tion on the flow indicator denotes proper oxygen flow.
Page 90: Approach For Landing
MOONEY SECTION IV M20TN NORMAL PROCEDURES APPROACH FOR LANDING - - CAUTION- - The airplane must be within allowable weight and balance envelope for landing (REF. SECTION VI). It will require a minimum of one hour of flight before a permis- sible landing weight is attained when takeoffs are made at maximum gross weight.
Page 91: Taxi After Landing
SECTION IV MOONEY NORMAL PROCEDURES M20TN NOTE: Landing information for reduced flap settings is not available. See SECTION V for Landing Distance tables. NOTE: If maximum performance landings are desired, use above procedures except, re- duce approach airspeed to 70 KIAS (flaps full down) and apply maximum braking (without skidding tires) during rollout.

There is a full flow spin--on disposable oil filter.
Page 217: Engine Operation And Care
SECTION VII MOONEY AIRPLANE AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION M20TN ENGINE OPERATION AND CARE Life of an engine is determined by the care it receives. Maximum efficiency and engine service life can be expected when a good maintenance program is followed. Poor maintenance results in faulty engine performance and reduced service life.
Page 218: Lubrication System
MOONEY SECTION VII M20TN AIRPLANE AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION LUBRICATION SYSTEM Oil Filter -- Full flow oil filter is a throw away filter element with a bypass valve incorporated. BREATHER FOR CRANKCASE The crankcase is vented overboard through an air--oil separator to the left tailpipe. The air oil separator condenses some of the oil vapor and returns the oil back to the crankcase.
Page 219: Air Induction System
SECTION VII MOONEY AIRPLANE AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION M20TN AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM The primary engine air induction system draws air from the upper cowling plenum through the engine cooling inlets. The air passes through a filter and is split to provide air to the left and right turbo.

SECTION X MOONEY SAFETY INFORMATION M20TN FLIGHT IN TURBULENT AIR Even though flight in severe turbulence is to be avoided, flight in turbulent air may be encoun- tered under certain conditions. Flying through turbulent air presents two basic problems, to both of which the answer is PROPER AIRSPEED.
Page 260: Vertigo-Disorientation
MOONEY SECTION X M20TN SAFETY INFORMATION VERTIGO - DISORIENTATION Disorientation can occur in a variety of ways. During flight, inner ear balancing mechanisms are subjected to varied forces not normally experienced on the ground. This combined with loss of outside visual reference can cause vertigo. False interpretations (illusions) result and may con- fuse the pilot’s conception of the attitude and position of his airplane.
