1979 Mooney M20J 201Single-Engine Piston Aircraft • Dallas, TX, USA

This 1979 Mooney M20J 201, registration N4815H, is a modernized example with a total airframe time of 5,600 hours. Its most significant features are a factory-rebuilt Lycoming IO-360-A3B6 engine with only 100 hours since new and a matching 100-hour Hartzell Scimitar propeller. The aircraft received a comprehensive avionics modernization in 2024, featuring an Avidyne IFD-540 touchscreen navigator, an Aspen PFD integrated with the existing Century 41 autopilot, a JPI EDM-900 engine monitor, and an Avidyne AMX-240 audio panel, all installed within a custom-fabricated panel.

Avionics

GPS

Avidyne IFD-540 - A top-tier GPS/Nav/Com touchscreen navigator with Bluetooth audio streaming and Wi-Fi for wireless database updates and flight plan transfer from tablets.

Comms

Trig TY-96A - Comm Radio: A modern, reliable secondary communication radio.

Century 41 - The Aspen PFD includes an ACU (Autopilot Control Unit) specifically interfaced with the existing autopilot, modernizing its control and functionality. An interface unit is installed, which allows the advanced Avidyne IFD-540 to communicate with and control the older autopilot for sophisticated GPS-guided flight.

Audio

Avidyne AMX-240 - Audio Panel: A modern audio panel with Bluetooth for wireless phone and music connectivity.

Traffic

Remote Transponder: An ADS-B "Out" compliant transponder with a built-in "Traffic Bundle" for receiving ADS-B "In" traffic data directly to your displays.

EMS

JPI EDM-900 - JPI A high-resolution, 4-cylinder engine monitor that replaces all factory engine gauges, providing vastly superior data and trend monitoring for safety.

Additional Equipment

Ignition System

Split EIS ignition system provides a backup power source, drastically reducing the risk of a complete ignition failure.

Engine Tappets

Roller tappets prevent catastrophic engine failure by removing the risk of metal debris from worn flat tappets.

Engine Hoses

All new engine hoses.

Starter

Sky-TEC - New starter.

Lighting

Upgraded to modern, bright, and energy-efficient LED navigation and strobe lights for enhanced visibility and safety.

Instrument Panel

A completely custom-fabricated instrument panel. The old "steam gauge" panel would have been removed and replaced with a new metal sub-panel, cut and designed to seamlessly integrate the large Aspen and Avidyne displays while maintaining a professional and clean layout. This is a complete panel transformation.
