OWNERS MANUAL
FLIGHT CONTROLS
Conventional dual controls link to the control surfaces
through push-pull tubes. The co-pilot's rudder pedals are
removable.
The Mooney Positive Control (P. C.) system is standard
equipment, P. C. is a lateral stability augmentation system
that provides a high degree of roll and yaw stability, thereby
enhancing the inherent wings- level flight characteristics
of the aircraft. The system works full time from takeoff
through landing but can be easily deactivated or overpowered
for flight maneuvers. P.C. allows you, the pilot, to devote
more time to navigation, traffic surveillance, and com-
mu' iications.
LANDING GEAR
The tricycle landing gear allows maximum taxi vision and
ground maneuvering. Hydraulic disc brakes and a steer-
able nose wheel aid in positive directional control during
taxiing and crosswind landings.
The landing gear is electrically retracted. A gear warning
horn along with amber and green positfon lights help prevent
inadvertent gear-up landings. The retraction system in-
corporates an airspeed-actuated switch that prevents gear
retraction until a safe airspeed is attained. An emergency
gear extension system_ is provided.
