About the Mooney M20R Ovation

The Mooney M20R Ovation 2 GX is a premier ‘Long Body’ normally aspirated cruiser. Introduced in the mid-2000s, the ‘GX’ designation signifies the integration of the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit. It is powered by a 280hp Continental IO-550-G.

Key Features for GA Buyers

Speed & Range: Competes with turbocharged aircraft in speed (190 KTAS) without the maintenance complexity of a turbo, and offers massive range (1,000+ nm) thanks to 102-gallon tanks.
Modern Avionics: The G1000 suite brings situational awareness and autopilot integration found in modern airliners.
Comfort: The stretched fuselage offers vastly improved rear passenger space compared to the older M20C/E/J/K models.

Trade-offs

Runway Performance: It is not a STOL aircraft; it requires respectable runway lengths, especially when loaded to its max gross weight.
Cost: Commands a premium price due to the modern avionics and newer airframe age.
