Kerrville, Texas—Mooney Airplane Company has announced that the M20R Ovation2 GX has received its certification from the European Aviation Safety Administration (EASA).  This long-range single-engine piston aircraft cruises at a top speed of 190 knots (ktas) at its service ceiling of 20,000 feet.  At a lower cruising speed of 173 ktas, it offers an incredible range of 1,860 nm.

“The Ovation2 GX is perfectly suited for Europe, whether as a business aircraft with comfortable seating for four people and their luggage, or for personal use, allowing fast, convenient trips to anywhere in Europe in a matter of hours,” said Bernard Cheong of Air Touring Limited, one of Mooney’s European dealers. “With the installation of optional long range tanks, the range can be pushed even further, to 2,400 nm,” he added.

This certification represents the qualification of the Ovation2 GX with the Garmin G1000 Avionics Suite, which was certified in the US in 2004. The M20R Ovation has been certified in Europe without the glass panel on a per country basis prior to this EASA announcement.

The Ovation2 GX is one of three production aircraft in the Mooney fleet, which includes the Ovation3 and Acclaim Type S – the fastest piston single on the market. The Ovation2 GX is powered by a 280 horsepower TCM TSIO-550-G normally-aspirated engine and comes standard with the Hartzell three-blade propeller.

The newly-certified Ovation2 GX aircraft are currently available through Mooney’s international dealer network in Europe:  Air Touring Limited covers Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK and Ireland. AirNet, based in Slovenia, covers Eastern Europe and Troyes Aviation, based in France, also covers Spain, Portugal, Italy and Belgium. Customers can find information on all Mooney models and their nearest European dealer at www.mooney.com.
