Mooney M20TN Acclaim (2006-2019)

The 2006 Mooney M20TN Acclaim was Mooney's top-of-line turbocharged single, combining the M20R Ovation's stretched-cabin airframe with the Continental TSIO-550-G producing 280 HP through a turbocharger and intercooler. Three generations spanned the 2006-2019 production run, all on one certificate section (TCDS 2A3 Section XV, one serial block, S/N 31-0001 and on -- no split of any kind on this model, confirmed against the certificate this session):

• Acclaim (2006-2007): original production
• Acclaim Type S (2008-2014): refined fuselage aerodynamics
• Acclaim Ultra (2017-2019): reintroduced after a Mooney bankruptcy, with Garmin G1000 NXi and a refined cabin

Approximately 350 Acclaims were produced. Production ceased permanently in 2019 when Mooney terminated piston aircraft manufacturing.

No range figure is stored, and this is a genuine gap in the document, not a search failure. This printing of the POH's Section V has no range or endurance profile chart at all -- confirmed by reading the full table of contents and checking the relevant page range with PyMuPDF -- unlike the classic GAMA-format POH (the Cessna 172N's, for example), which always includes one. A pilot flying this airplane plans range from the fuel-flow table and a fuel totalizer rather than from a published chart; this catalogue follows the same rule and does not compute one to fill the gap.

Climb rate and all four runway distances are also not stored, for a related reason: this POH publishes those as GRAPHS, not tables. Checked page-by-page with PyMuPDF get_text() across the relevant Section V pages -- every one returns only its header and footer, meaning the chart itself is vector-drawn artwork rather than text. Vy (104 KIAS), Vx (85 KIAS) and best glide speed (91.5 KIAS at gross) ARE stored, because those specific numbers happen to appear as printed text in Section I rather than only inside a graph.

Stall speeds are from the airplane's own maximum takeoff weight, 3,368 lb, not the 3,200 lb landing-weight limit -- the POH's stall-vs-bank table has no row at 3,200 lb, only 3,368 / 3,000 / 2,700, so the heaviest available row was used and is noted here for anyone cross-checking against a different edition.

The data/vault/performance/mooney-m20tn-acclaim.cruise.json grid preserves both the 25,000 ft and 24,000 ft altitude blocks in full (all RPM/MAP combinations, all three ISA temperature columns), not just the single headline row -- so "what will it burn at 24,000 ft leaned back to 2300 RPM" is answerable from the chart rather than a guess.

• Flight Training (1): Not a trainer -- fastest, most complex production Mooney, entirely wrong tool for primary instruction.
• Backcountry (1): Low-wing retractable; no unimproved-strip business.
• Business Travel (10): The fastest production piston single built -- 232 KTAS at 25,000 ft is genuinely competitive with older turboprop point-to-point times on routes under about 1,500 nm.
• Aerobatics (1): Not certified.
• Cross-Country (10): The airplane this catalogue's high-altitude convention was written for -- full turbo capability all the way to its 25,000 ft operating ceiling.
• Cargo Hauling (4): Useful load 1,049 lb (no-options basis, POH-sourced) is respectable for the class but not a hauler once fuel and four adults are aboard.
• Local Fun Flying (6): Fast and capable, but arguably too much airplane and too much fuel burn for a short local hop.
• Surveying (4): Low-wing visibility limitation, and its strengths are wasted at survey altitudes.

Parts availability "fair", mechanic familiarity "specialist" -- shares the general Mooney support picture, with turbocharger/intercooler expertise a genuine plus given the TSIO-550-G's sensitivity to CHT management.

Price bands below are retained from the prior catalogue pass and were not independently verified this session -- Controller and Trade-A-Plane both blocked automated access, and Vref/Bluebook access was not available. See raw/market/market-mooney-late-m20-2026-09-08.md.

Universal Mooney pre-buy items apply. TN-specific, carried from the page's prior content and not independently re-verified this session:

1. TSIO-550-G turbocharger and intercooler condition -- inspect for shaft play, oil seepage and intercooler corrosion (more common on coastal airplanes).
2. Engine monitor history -- the TSIO-550-G is sensitive to CHT excursions; review JPI/EI trend data if fitted.
3. Cabin oxygen system -- the Acclaim routinely operates above 12,500 ft; verify the built-in system and bottle test currency.
4. Mooney factory support -- production ceased in 2019; verify regional shop access.

Retractable, high-performance, turbocharged single -- the top of the M20 line's underwriting tier. Carried from the page's prior content, not independently re-verified this session.
