INTRODUCTION: The continual evaluationof dataand testing of various systems on M20 Series aircraft models
has led, among other things, tothe introductionof the 2900 pound grossweight M20Jaircraft.
An analysis of computerdata has determinedthat a slight changeto the rudder static balancelimits
are necessary onthe
2900 poundgrossweight M20d. These new limits arelistedinINSTRUCTIONS
below.The possibilityexists that the rudders on some of theaffected aircraft listedherein may be
outsidethese new limits.Therefore, it is mandatorythat this Service Bulletinbe compliedwithas
indicated.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Remove rudderfrom empennage of the aircraft er M20JService and Maintenance (S & M) manual,
NO.121,Section27-20-00,paragraphs2, A,
5, 6
2. Check rudderbalance per M20J S & WI, Section27-92-00thru27-93-01 & Tables 27-18 and 27-1 9
(See CAUTIONS below).
CAUTION: 'Fable
27-18 - Use GAUGE WEIGHT DISTANCE LIMITS of: + 6.69 in, to + 10.68 in.
far 2900 poundaircraft.
- The c3.37 in.to + 10.68in. limits remain in effect for 2740
poundgrossweight aircraft.
CAUTION:
Table 27-19 - UseABSOLUTE BAMNCELIMITS of: + 15.50 in. Ibs. to + 12.50in. Ibs.
for 2900 poundaircraft. -The c 18.00in. Ibs. to c 12.50in. Ibs. limitsremainineffect
for 2740 pound grossweight aircraft.
3. If rudder balaaee falls within the above limits, re-install rudder on the aircraft per M20J S & M, Section
27-20-00, paragraph2,
B. Proceedto Step 8.
If rudder
does not fa!! within the above limits, proceedto Step 4.
4. Teinporarilyadd additionalwei ht (washersor any other items)untilstatic balancefalls within limits. Remove
temporaryweights and weigh
I a em to see approximatelyhow muchadditionalweight was need& to
baianr,a,\~lithinlimits. If 2.66 oz. or less is needed,the addition of washers describedinStep5will provide
the necessaryaddedweight (ie.
16 eachAN970-3 washersweigh2.66 02.)
5. If balancejust exceedslimit, one method isto removethe balanceweight attachscrews, one at a time and
addwashers under screw head (uptotwo under each screw) as requiredto balancerudderwithinthe
2900 poundlimits. If necessary, proceedto eachattachingscrew and add washers. It is recommended
that thewashers be distributedamongall
8 attachingscrews for a neater appearance. EitherANW-10or
AN970-3washers may be used. However,for
each washer added under screw head, the lengthof the
NAS623-3screw MUST BE increasedby one dash number. (See Service Bulletin Kit for Part Numbers. You
will needto request the quantityof washers and/or screws desired)
6. Ifgreater than 2.66 oz. is required, removethe balanceweight and weigh ittogetherwith the temporary
weights.The total weight of these should bethe specifiedweight of the new 460011-503balanceweight
ordered. The maximum460011-503balanceweight availableis2.88 pounds.
7. Re-checkrudderafter eachchangetothe balanceweight per S
& Mmanual procedures untilwithinlimits.
8. Enter compliancestatement inAirframe log book and returnaircraft to service.
WARRANW: MooneyAircraft Corporationwill allow
up to2.5 hourslaborto inspectthe rudder balance. Ifthe
rudderisout of balance,upto
an additional2.0 hourswill beapproved to balanceand repaintas
