    Great summary of costs. I’m in my first year of ownership. My first year summary will be sobering (and not shared within my house), but definitely worth it.

      I operate a M20K 252 in Holland. I fly around 60 hrs a year and usualy at 30K a year total. Every year something expensive breaks. Mags, turbo, wastegate, prop overhaul, it’s never dull.

      Thanks for sharing. That's indeed a few bucks more for your K-model. How long have you owned it?

    I have my 1988 M20J for one year now and I'm at roughly 26K euro (21% tax included). That's for 90 hours of flying, not including upgrades or reserve. Do your numbers include tax?

      That's good. Yes, all my num ers include tax.

    Good job mate... very informative... good to have a European owner's costs. I just wonder how much less it would cost to operate a non-complex tourer (PA28, C172)

    Hi, Great and helpful video. I plan to buy Mooney M20. Where in Germany (Eastern if possible) you can do all maintenance of M20 series? Whare do you do your maintenance?

      You have to find a shop that works for you. There are many with different qualities and prices. My maintenance is done by Ardex at EDBK.

    Danke für die genauen Details. Wäre schön, wenn du nächstes Jahr wieder ein Update bringst.
    Die Inspektions- und Verschleißkosten aus 2018 und 2019 hast du damals aber mit den 30k Kaufpreis sehr gut abgefedert.
    Wo schaut man am besten nach gebrauchten Flugzeugen hier in Deutschland, speziell Mooneys, hast einen Tipp?

    Muss mich dem audioproblem leider anschließen aber etwas ist komisch und ich hab keine ahnung wieso das so ist aber ich hab das video vor ca einem Jahr schonmal angeschaut und meine mich zu erinnern dass der Ton funktioniert hat und das war mit dem gleichen Gerät wie jetzt (hab nämlich ein screenshot von der Tabelle gemacht) und jetzt versteht man nichts mehr nur noch so als wenn das as audio kabel nicht richtig eingesteckt ist, echt komisch🤷‍♂️
