“Anyone flying turbocharged airplanes or wintertime IFRmust have this system. The TKS system gives yourairplane year-round capability. The TKS system works farbetter than boots. It eliminates the runback problem,eliminates stress on vacuum systems and provides addedprotection if you encounter in-flight hail. Icing can kill youso don’t play Russian Roulette with your life or your lovedone’s lives.”

TKS Ice Protectionfor the Mooney

Unsurpassed Performance

No other ice protection system can provide the same levelof protection as TKS.

Complete Airframe Protection

Complete protection for the wings, tail surfaces, propeller,and windshield.

Ease of Operation

Just turn the System “ON” when icing is encountered and“OFF” when leaving icing conditions.

Up to 2½ Hours of Ice Protection

A full tank of ice protection fluid provides up to 2½ hours ofcontinuous ice protection.

Low Maintenance

As the system is used, it flushes out any accumulation ofdebris on the panels. Glycol, the main ingredient in the iceprotection fluid, has cleaning properties and will not harmthe paint finish of the aircraft.

Little Reduction in Aircraft Performance

There is virtually no loss in aircraft performance as a resultof installing the TKS system.

Light Weight

The TKS system weighs 37 lbs. without fluid (lighter thana boot system) and 92 lbs. with a full tank of fluid.

Mooney TKS Ice Protection System

Your aircraft can be equipped with complete airframe ice

protection. The TKS ice protection system is available for

the M20J, M20K, M20M, M20R and M20S Mooney

aircraft.

The effectiveness of the TKS ice protection concept has been

documented by NASA through their extensive test in the

icing research tunnel at the Lewis Research Center and

through many years of service on the Raytheon/ Hawker

BAe-125 series of business jets as standard equipment. The

system has been proving itself in service on Mooneys since

1987.

The TKS system offers you more time to make crucial

decisions if you encounter icing conditions. Even with a

TKS ice protection, one should always take immediate steps

to exit icing conditions should they be encountered.

Here’s How It Works

Laser-drilled titanium panels are installed on the leadingedges of the wings, horizontal and vertical stabilizers. Aslinger ring is installed on the propeller and a spraybar ispositioned in front of the windshield for protection. Aglycol-based fluid is pumped through the panels at a low rate. The fluid flows over the protected surfaces and keeps theaircraft virtually ice free.The glycol based fluidis metered from a tankby a small electricallydriven pump througha micro-filter toproportioning units. The proportioningu n i t s c o n t a i ncalibrated capillarytubes which apportionfluid to the individualpanels and the propeller slinger ring. The windshield isprotected with an on-demand pump and spray bar.A significant advantage to the pilot is the simple operation ofthe system. Just turn the system “ON” when icing isencountered and “OFF” when leaving the icing condition . Only one choice of operation exists for the pilot when usingthe system: NORMAL or MAXIMUM mode. Using the

NORMAL mode in typical icing conditions, a protective filmof glycol prevents the formation of ice. In heavier icingconditions or cases of accumulated ice, the MAXIMUMmode increases the system flow rate to shed ice. Asignificant feature of both modes is the elimination ofrunback ice.The weight added to an aircraft as a result of a TKS iceprotection installation is minimal. The TKS system weighs37 lb. without fluid. The system weighs 92 lb with its fullcomplement of ice protection fluid.

The attractive TKS system requires a minimum of upkeep.

As the system is used, it flushes out any accumulation of

debris on the panels. Glycol, the main ingredient of the ice

protection fluid, has cleaning properties and will not harm

the paint finish of the aircraft.

There is no performance loss as a result of installing the TKS

system, yet significant ice protection capabilities are added.

Up to 2½ hours of continuous ice protection is possible with

a full tank of fluid.

The addition of a TKS ice protection system to a Mooney

enhances the safety and utility of the aircraft, truly creating

a personal airliner for the owner.
