    SECTION IV MOONEY NORMAL PROCEDURES M20TN - MODEL TYPE-S - -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 indication on the flow indicator denotes proper oxygen flow.

  • Page 96: Taxi After Landing

    SECTION IV MOONEY NORMAL PROCEDURES M20TN - MODEL TYPE-S 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.

    MOONEY SECTION VII M20TN - MODEL TYPE-S AIRPLANE AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION ENGINE GENERAL The M20TN engine is a Continental Motors, Inc. Aircraft Engine Model TSIO--550--G. It is a twin-- turbocharged, horizontally opposed, six cylinder, fuel injected, air cooled engine that uses a high pressure, wet sump style oil system for lubrication.

  • Page 220: Engine Operation And Care

    SECTION VII MOONEY AIRPLANE AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION M20TN - MODEL TYPE-S 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 221: Lubrication System

    MOONEY SECTION VII M20TN - MODEL TYPE-S 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 222: Air Induction System

    SECTION VII MOONEY AIRPLANE AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION M20TN - MODEL TYPE-S 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.

  • Page 223: Icing Protection

    MOONEY SECTION VII M20TN - MODEL TYPE-S AIRPLANE AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION ICING PROTECTION Continued operation of the induction system in the event of intake air being obstructed is pro- vided by activation of the alternate air system. The alternate air is automatically or manually con- trolled.
