This indicator is to be used only as an aid in setting the mixture during cruise
at powers up to 75% power, but not take-off, climb, or descent. For lean-out-
procedures at 75% power or lower, lean-to peak temperature, then enrich
until temperature drops 25°F minimum.
Trip-free circuit breakers are located on the lower right-hand side of the
copilot's instrument panel. Push to reset.

AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENT
FOR MOONEY MODELS M20C AND M20E WITH
S-TEC MANUAL ELECTRIC ELEVATOR TRIM (14 VOLT SYSTEM)
Reg. No. N9351M Ser. No. 1253
This supplement must be attached to the applicable FAA Approved Airplane Flight
Manual when S-TEC Manual Electric Elevator Trim System, Model ST-155 is
installed in accordance with SIC SA 5279SW-D. The information contained herein
supplements the information in the basic Airplane Flight Manual; for limitations,
procedures and performance information not contained in this supplement, consult the
basic Airplane Flight Manual.
SECTION I GENERAL
This manual is to provide the pilot with the operating and emergency procedures for
the S-TEC Manual Electric Elevator Trim System.
The S-TEC Manual Electric Elevator Trim System is composed of the following
elements:
ELEMENT LOCATION
Item Action
1. Trim Master Switch OFF
2. Manually retrim aircraft
3. Trim circuit breaker PULL
4. Release the interrupt switch
Do not operate electric trim system until the problem has been identified
and corrected.
SECTION-IV
NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
PREFLIGHT
Item Action
If the electric trim system fails any element of the above preflight
procedure do not operate the electric trim system in flight until the problem
is corrected:
IN FLIGHT
Move trim control switch forward or aft as required for electric elevator trim.

NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
Pitch axis control is provided for the altitude hold function by use of
the accelerometer and the pressure transducer. When the altitude hold mode
is engaged an elevator trim sensor in the pitch servo will detect the
elevator trim condition. When elevator trim is necessary to re-establish a
trimmed condition, trim indicator lights on the programmer unit will
illuminate to indicate the direction to trim to restore a trimmed
condition.
The indicator and annunciator lamp brilliance is controlled through the aircraft
instrument light rheostat, except for the "trim" indicators which always
illuminate at full intensity.
1. Mode Programmer and Annunciator Unit - Provides mode switches and annun-
ciation for the system.
3. Ready Light (RDY) - Green ROY lamp illuminates when autopilot is ready for
engagement.
6. Navigation Mode Switch (NAV) - Momentary activation will engage the VOR
Tracking Mode. This mode provides low system gain for comfortable
cross country tracking.
7. Approach Mode Switch (APR) - Momentary actuation will engage the VOR
or Localizer Tracking Mode. This mode provides a higher level of
system gain for more active tracking of VOR or Localizer front course
signals.
9. Down TRIM Light (ON) - This light illuminates to indicate the need for
nose down trim. When both the UP and DN lights are not lighted, the
aircraft is in trim longitudinally.
10. UP Trim Light (UP) - This light illuminates to indicate the need for
nose UP trim.
11. Turn Knob and Heading Switch - The turn knob allows the selection of
turn rates up to standard rate (3°/sec.) either right or left. Turn
ing the knob to the right or left will cause a turn that is proportional to
the displacement of the knob from center. For level flight the
electronics provide a small dead zone of approximately 100 at the center
indice. To actuate heading mode, momentarily depress the turn knob. To
return to STB Mode from HDG, depress the turn knob. When the system is
operating in any radio mode and the system is equipped with a D.G., depressing
the turn knob will return the system to HDG Mode directly.
12. Autopilot Master ON-OFF Test Switch - Refer to Pre-Flight Procedures for
operating details.
NOTE: ALTITUDE MODE CANNOT BE ENGAGED UNLESS POWER IS ON FOR MORE THAN
15 SECONDS.
7. Move control wheel to level flight position - Engage ALT Mode. Move
control wheel fore and aft to overpower pitch servo clutch. Overpower
action should be smooth with no noise or jerky feel. If unusual sounds
or excessive play is detected, have the servo installation inspected prior
to flight.
8. Trim Check - Manually apply back pressure to control wheel for 2-3
seconds - observe the ON trim light illuminates. Apply forward pressure
to the control wheel for 2-3 seconds, observe the UP trim light
illuminates. Move the control wheel to center - observe both UP/DN lights
extinguish.
9. Hold control wheel and depress ON-OFF Switch - note that roll and pitch
servo release. Move control wheel to confirm roll and pitch motions are
free, with no control restriction or binding. If the optional disconnect
switch is installed it may be used to effect the disconnect for this check.
To track the localizer front course outbound to the procedure turn area,
maneuver to the localizer center and, when on the outbound heading, select
REV Mode. To track the localizer back course inbound, maneuver to the
localizer back course center and, when on the inbound heading, select REV
Mode.
Approach Mode may be used to track VOR radials cross country, if desired.
Use of APR Mode for cross country tracking may result in some course
scalloping if the VOR signal is weak or otherwise "noisy". In areas of poor
signal quality NAV Mode may provide more accurate tracking even with
reduced gain.
