Monroy Fuel Upgrade for Mooney Aircraft


 
Alternative Views:


Since 1986, the Monroy Long Range Fuel Tanks are the only FAA STC approved for Mooney Models M20C, E, F, J, K, L, M, R and M20TN. They have gone through extensive engineering and flight testing to assure reliable operation. There are over 800 Mooney Aircraft worldwide with this upgrade. The upgrade is also approved by the LBA in Germany, the ENAC in Italy, and the CAA in Australia.

The Long Range Upgrade provides an increase in range performance of 69% for the M20C and M20E models to 33% for the M20M (Bravo) and M20R (Ovation) models. This range increase is provided by the addition of two long range fuel tanks in the wings. Each tank holds up to 18 gallons a side (15 gallons with speed brake) for a total of 36 gallons (30 with speed brakes).

*No-reserve range at 50% power at 15,000 feet, zero wind. Range varies with weight and mixture leaning.

There is no other STC that allows this much of a fuel increase for Money Aircraft. Fuel bladders only allow for a 10 gallon increase at best and they reduce your useful load by about 60 lbs.

Installation takes 55 - 60 hrs.

This kit can only be sold if our sister company,
Blue Skies Aviation does the installation. This is a new requirement by the Manufacturer.

MEASURABLE BENEFITS

In addition to increasing the range, it allows your Mooney to run at higher power setting, thus achieving higher cruise speeds for long trips where it is most desirable, without lengthy fuel stops. On a 1200 NM trip, this speed difference can be from 20 KTS for the M20J to 50 KTS for the M20M. This difference translates to a savings of three hours on the average 2400 NM round trip (1200 NM each way). Safety is also improved by having a larger fuel reserve at your destination (especially under IMC). For those remote destinations where there is no fuel available (or is too expensive), it allows you to reach them with the return fuel on board.

COST EFFECTIVE UPGRADE

The Long Range Upgrade allows the Mooney Airplanes to perform mission profiles rivaled only by more expensive aircraft such as some turboprops, business jets and airlines. The cost of these tanks can be recovered in about 25 long trips or less depending on how much you value your time. There is no other upgrade or modification that can improve the cruise performance by so much.
