About this aircraft
N261TA isn’t just another Mooney M20K “231.” This turbocharged performer has been upgraded where it matters most: the panel. In 2007, a major $50,000 avionics upgrade transformed the cockpit into a pilot-friendly, IFR-ready environment designed for serious cross-country flying. The avionics suite includes: Dual Garmin GNS 530s — for full IFR GPS/NAV/COMM capability and redundancy. Garmin GTX-330ES Transponder — Mode S with traffic awareness. Sandel HSI — crisp glass display for improved situational awareness. Autopilot Integration — Century/S-TEC systems (depending on config) paired with the GPS units for smoother long-haul operations. Together, these upgrades give N261TA the reliability and redundancy pilots look for when flying in the system — perfect for building time, flying cross-country, or owning a turbocharged single that can comfortably cruise in the 180–200 KTAS range at altitude. For pilots looking for modern IFR capability in a proven airframe, N261TA delivers both performance and peace of mind.
