INTRODUCTION
This manual provides servicing and maintenance infor-
mation for the Mooney Model M20TN, Serial Numbers
31--0001 and ON. Maintenance actions that refer to a
limited number of aircraft will be designated by serial
number of applicable airplanes.
The Part Number’s of replacement or repair parts
should be identified using the Illustrated Parts Catalog
applicable to Model and S/N of aircraft being worked
on. The correct P/N can be ordered through any
Mooney Service Center or contacting Mooney. See
Section 91 for exceptions on Electrical Components.
The format and contents of this manual are prepared in
accordance with GENERAL AVIATION MANUFAC-
TURER’S ASSOCIATION (GAMA) Specification No. 2.
The manual is supplemented with wiring schematics
and Electrical Harnesses for the various model year
airplanes, as necessary. These are located in enve-
lopes at the back of the manual text pages.

Correspondence concerning maintenance or part
numbers on an airplane should contain the aircraft
model number and serial number. The serial number

stabilizer.
ASSIGNMENT OF SUBJECT MATERIAL
The content of this publication is organized at four lev-
els:
Group
Chapter (System)
Section (Sub--system)
Subject (Unit)
GROUP
These are primary divisions of the manual that enable
broad separation of content, ie., Airframe systems VS
Powerplant systems. These groups are identified by
tabs.
CHAPTER (System)
The various groups contain major systems information
such as flight controls, landing gear, etc. The systems
are arranged numerically per GAMA recommended
number assignment, It is suggested, for example that
“Fuel” be identified with the Chapter number “28”. The
sequence of numbers, 28--00--00, refers to the General
information of the Fuel Systems.
SECTION (Sub--System)
The major systems of an aircraft are broken down into
sub--systems. These sub--systems are identified by the
second element of the sequence of numbers, ie.,
28--20--00. The element --20-- indicates the distribution
portion of the fuel system.
SUBJECT (Unit)
The individual units within a sub--system may be identi-
fied by a third element of the sequence of numbers, ie.,
28--20--01. This number is assigned by the manufactur-
er and may or may not be used depending upon the
complexity of the maintenance action recommended.
APPLICATION OF NUMBERING SYSTEM
Mooney Aviation Company, Inc. is in the process of re-
vising all applicable maintenance technical publica-
tions to GAMA format. When this effort is completed
any publication concerning maintenance of aircraft will
conform to this basic numbering system. Any person
wishing information concerning the Fuel Distribution
System would refer to the pages identified as
28--20--00, in any maintenance oriented publication.
These pages will be numbered sequentially within each
system breakdown in the current Mooney series of air-
craft. As Mooney aircraft models become more com-
plex the page numbers may be sequentially numbered
within sub--systems.
The table of contents in the front of each Chapter will
provide a list of systems and/or subjects covered in the
Chapter. For example:
28--00 General
28--10 Storage
(Tanks, vents, repair, etc.)
28--20 Distribution
(Boost pumps, fuel lines, etc.)
28--40 Indicating
(Sender Units, quantity gauges, etc.)
If there is a reason to distinguish between LEFT
HAND or RIGHT HAND fuel quantity sending units
then the number would be expanded to 28--40--01
(Left Hand) and 28--40--02 (Right Hand). This con-
cept will apply to any expanded information through-
out the publications.

SUPPLEMENTAL TYPE CERTIFICATE (STC) INFORMATION
Modifications to the Mooney airplane, which are incorporated under a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC), can
affect procedures and inspection as well as part replacement cycles. The STC holder will issue maintenance proce-
dures and appropriate time intervals for areas of the airplane that are affected by the STC. Sometimes the STC
modifications can change operating characteristics, component loads, and component stresses. Since the interface
of the STC modification with the existing structure can result in a number of unknown elements, the standards estab-
lished by Mooney Airplane company may not be valid.
SUPPLEMENTARY PUBLICATIONS
The following list of Manufacturers and/or publications can provide servicing and maintenance information on com-
ponents of the Mooney, Model M20TN. Not all avionics equipment Manufacturers or publications are listed due to
the many configurations that can be installed in the aircraft. These can be obtained from the repair stations for a
particular avionics manufacturer
Any publications available from Mooney Aviation Company, Inc. are listed in the Parts Price List and are available
through any Mooney Service Center, refer to www.mooney.com for a complete listing of manual revisions. Most
manufacturer/vendor publications are not available through Mooney Aviation Company, Inc. These should be ob-
tained from the applicable Manufacturer/Vendor.
