1987 Mooney M20K 252TSE
Meticulously maintained Mooney 252TSE — an NDH / never-geared-up gem w/ modern avionics, low AF time, a smooth-running engine, and Mooney’s classic “252” N-number scheme — priced to sell by its sole, private owner for the past 22 years. Arguably the “apex” of Mooney’s unrivaled speed & efficiency, the 252TSE is certified to FL280 and an ideal cross-country machine and IFR platform — flight plan at +/- 200 knots at Its engine purrs with solid compressions (73/62/70/70/67/72) on a low-time, NDH airframe — and modern avionics include Avidyne’s amazing IFD440 FMS/GPS NAV/COM, a Garmin MX-20 MFD, Garmin’s GTX 345 ADS-B In/Out Mode S dual-link transponder, Garmin SL30 NAV/COM, JPI’s EDM 700 engine monitor, and a Shadin Miniflo-L fuel computer. Other “bonus” features include leather-wrapped custom yokes, panel-powered front-seat Bose interfaces, Lasar custom visors, Bob Field inflatable door seals, and factory options including dual alternators, speed brakes, 4-place oxygen, and prop de-icing. New landing gear disks in Nov 2018. Original paint is still good, but with some touched-up blemishes (eg, wing leading edges). Interior is very good overall, except for cracking on the pilot-side armrest (a factory replacement panel from Mooney is in-hand, FYI, but not yet installed). Complete, continuous logbooks available and digitized (attached here – compressed versions req’d on AVweb, FYI).
