1979 Mooney M20K 231Single-Engine Piston Aircraft • Waco, TX, USA

This 1979 Mooney M20K 231, registered as N231DB, presents a well-maintained airframe with 3,257 hours on the Hobbs meter and a mid-time engine. The Continental TSIO-360-LB1 engine has approximately 1,019 hours since its complete overhaul in 2007, against a 1,800-hour TBO.

The aircraft is equipped for full IFR flight with an EIS UBG-16 engine monitor, though the Century 41 autopilot is noted as inoperative.
