OPERATING COST of a MOONEY - 3 years of ownership

After three and a half years of ownership of a 1965 vintage Mooney aircraft, I have gained a good overview over the cost associated with maintaining and operaiting a single engine piston aircraft in Europe.
In this video, I'm showing you my detailed Excel records and explain how the aircraft was traken care of so far.

Great summary of costs. I’m in my first year of ownership. My first year summary will be sobering (and not shared within my house), but definitely worth it.

I’m currently doing a Mooney tank reseal. Unfortunately we don’t qualify for the bladder STC since we’re a B model

Hi, Great and helpful video. I plan to buy Mooney M20. Where in Germany (Eastern if possible) you can do all maintenance of M20 series? Whare do you do your maintenance?

[slcarlsson]

Danke für die genauen Details. Wäre schön, wenn du nächstes Jahr wieder ein Update bringst.
Die Inspektions- und Verschleißkosten aus 2018 und 2019 hast du damals aber mit den 30k Kaufpreis sehr gut abgefedert.
Wo schaut man am besten nach gebrauchten Flugzeugen hier in Deutschland, speziell Mooneys, hast einen Tipp?
Schöne Grüße

Good job mate... very informative... good to have a European owner's costs. I just wonder how much less it would cost to operate a non-complex tourer (PA28, C172)

I have my 1988 M20J for one year now and I'm at roughly 26K euro (21% tax included). That's for 90 hours of flying, not including upgrades or reserve. Do your numbers include tax?

Muss mich dem audioproblem leider anschließen aber etwas ist komisch und ich hab keine ahnung wieso das so ist aber ich hab das video vor ca einem Jahr schonmal angeschaut und meine mich zu erinnern dass der Ton funktioniert hat und das war mit dem gleichen Gerät wie jetzt (hab nämlich ein screenshot von der Tabelle gemacht) und jetzt versteht man nichts mehr nur noch so als wenn das as audio kabel nicht richtig eingesteckt ist, echt komisch🤷‍♂️
