an aviation "incident" strikes! MOA will provide you free* access to a well
known Mooney Expert when you need him the most!
He will be there to assist you to make those tough "on the spot" maintenance or
incident decisions. Many times, it is those same "I thought I had no other
choice" or "I wish I had known about that before..." type
decisions which can sometimes cost dearly if you aren'tt properly informed or think
you had no other practical choices. Learn how (for example) to prevent many "gear
up" damages which occur "after the fact" during retrieval and
transporting, and how your Mooney may even be better after an incident than
before!
Also, when you are faced with a decision relative to the FAA, know what your options are before
it is too late! Before you "call the tower or ATC", call MOA!

will receive several phone/fax access lines to nationwide MOA Certified experts.

up selling it for a song just to; "get it off our hands"!
