Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11178 · Mooney Aircraft Corporation Model M20R Airplanes
Mooney Aircraft Corporation Model M20R Airplanes
Model M20R airplanes, certificated in any category; that incorporate the following serial numbers: 29-0033, 29-0062, 29-0088, 29-0090, 29-0092, 29-0096, 29-0098, 29-0109, 29- 0117, 29-0119, 29-0130, 29-0132, 29-0133, 29-0134, 29-0139, 29-0142, 29-0143, 29-0144, 29-0149, 29-0154, 29-0155, 29-0156, 29-0159, 29- 0161, 29-0162, 29-0164, 29-0171, 29-0172, and 29-0180.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Mooney Aircraft Corporation (Mooney) Model M20R airplanes. This AD requires either fabricating and installing a placard that specifies using the air conditioning system during cruise operations only or deactivating the air conditioning system so it cannot be used. This AD is the result of reports of the existence of dangerous levels of carbon monoxide during taxi, climb, and descent operations of the above-referenced airplanes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent dangerous levels of carbon monoxide from entering the airplane cabin during takeoff, climb, and descent operations caused by the present flight cabin sealing design of the affected airplanes, which could result in passenger injury.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
