New Certification Enhances Company's Lineup
Mooney Airplane Company is crowing a bit now that the M20R
Ovation2 GX has received its certification from the European
Aviation Safety Administration (EASA). This long-range
single-engine piston aircraft cruises at a top speed of 190 knots
at its service ceiling of 20,000 feet. At a lower cruising
speed of 173 knots, it offers a range of 1,860 nm.
"The Ovation2 GX is perfectly suited for Europe, whether as a
business aircraft with comfortable seating for four people and
their luggage, or for personal use, allowing fast, convenient trips
to anywhere in Europe in a matter of hours," said Bernard Cheong of
Air Touring Limited, one of Mooney's European dealers. "With the
installation of optional long range tanks, the range can be pushed
even further, to 2,400 nm," he added.
This certification represents the qualification of the Ovation2 GX
with the Garmin G1000 Avionics Suite, which was certified in the US
in 2004. The M20R Ovation has been certified in Europe without the
glass panel on a per country basis prior to this EASA
announcement.
The Ovation2 GX is one of three production aircraft in the
Mooney fleet, which includes the Ovation3 and Acclaim Type S. The
Ovation2 GX is powered by a 280 horsepower TCM TSIO-550-G
normally-aspirated engine and comes standard with the Hartzell
three-blade propeller.
The Ovation2 GX aircraft are currently available through
Mooney's international dealer network in Europe: Air Touring
Limited covers Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK and Ireland.
AirNet, based in Slovenia, covers Eastern Europe and Troyes
Aviation, based in France, also covers Spain, Portugal, Italy and
Belgium.
