are mooneys pressurized

[reggiepaulk]

@youngestpilotinGa Mooneys are not pressurized... However, they did manufacture one pressurized model in the 60's I believe.

good video, but probably not the best choice of music, just sayin

[gajustempus]

AMEN!

What is it with airplane videos and crappy music

@KRAZYALTEREGO That is actually about 2 hours of fuel for that plane, so definately not low on fuel.  My guess is ATC asked them to make a crossing restriction...meaning they needed to cross a certain fix at an assigned altitude.

Haha, it's cute how GA pilots post videos like these on youtube.

@BG11215 I believe he was low on fuel, if i had to guess. If you look at 0:47 mark, the fuel levels are starting to get low. Im not a pilot so im just SPECULATING!!!

What was the emergency???

[onecheman]

It's 165 kts max speed with gear down ? It's not so "enought" for a em. descent. In a P. Mirage you can pull 3 ktns bellow red line.

However, nice video (with really HQ) =) +10

why would one do such a thing?

[DiamondPilotDan]

HOLY CRAP! 4600fpm??? how did your ears not explode?? after a 600fmp descent from 9500 to 10ft, my ears are bothering me like mad. i couldnt imagine how your ears handled that?

[EatMyPropwash]

ATC actually let you do that? Wow, impressive...

[tadeuprimo]

The oxygen supply quantity is controlled automatically ?
