A Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) has been approved to\nreplace McCauley propellers on Mooney M20M\/TLS\/Bravo series single-engine\naircraft with Hartzell Propeller’s 75-inch diameter three-bladed aluminum\nprops. Airplanes covered by the STC are powered by TIO-540-AF1A and\nTIO-540-AF1B Turbocharged Lycoming Sabre engines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInstalling Hartzell\u2019s Scimitar-style prop covered by this\nSTC delivers 8-10 percent improvement in climb performance, a 2-3 knot increase\nin cruise, and looks terrific on the ramp coupled with Mooney\u2019s signature\ntail,\u201d said Hartzell President JJ Frigge. \u201cAnd it has the Hartzell Top Prop\n2,400 hour, 6 -year time between overhaul, and warranty until first overhaul,\u201d\nhe added. The Hartzell Propeller Top Prop kit, HC-I3YF-1RF\/F7498-1, is\navailable for $15,839 and includes a propeller, all-composite spinner assembly\nand STC documentation. Additionally, a TKS ice protection kit is available at\nan additional charge, while electric de-ice approval is pending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through the years, about 10,000 Mooney airplanes have been\nequipped with Hartzell props. One of the launch platforms of the first Hartzell\ntwo-blade compact aluminum propellers in the early 1960s was the Mooney M20C.\nThrough the decades, the M20 airframe was improved with the addition of metal\nwings, generations of avionics advances, fuselage stretches, increased gross\nweights and more horsepower.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
