FLIGHT
CONTROFS
\I
*
Conventional dual controls link to the control surfaces
through push-pull tubes.
The Mooney Positive Control
(P.C.)
system
is
standard
equipment.
P.
C.
is
a lateral stability control system that
provides a high degree of roll and yaw stability, thereby
enhancing the inherent wings-level flight characteristics
of the aircraft.
The system works full time from takeoff
through landing but can be easily deactivated or overpowered
for flight maneuvers.
P.C.
allows you, the pilot, to devote
more time to navigation, traffic surveillance, and com-
munications.
LANDING
GEAR
The
tricycle landing gear allows maximum taxi vision and
ground maneuvering, Hydraulic disc brakes and
a
steer-
able nose wheel aid in positive directional control during
taxiing and crosswind landings.
The standard gear
is
manually retracted.
A
gear warning
horn along with red and green position lights help prevent
inadveqtent gear- up landings. An electrically operated
gear
is
available at extra cost. The electric gear system
incorporates
an
airspeed-actuated switch that helps pre-
,
vent gear retraction until
a
safe airspeed
is
attained.
An
emergency gear extension system
is
installed with the op-
tional electric gear system.
