 MOA/IMOA Membership Benefits
Your Independent*, (not
for profit**), Member Owned, Mooney Owners and Enthusiasts Association.
Current & "In the Works" MOA
Membership Benefits
1)
Monthly Subscription To The MOONEY PILOT Magazine
 First glance at our
typical AIRBILL Section will reveal many of your favorite authors: Bob
Kromer, Paul
Bertorelli, James T. Wyndbrant, Robert Willkins Hazelett, Amy Lobota, Doug
Ritter, and Coy G. Jacob. All well respected and nationally published
aviation editors.
This monthly magazine makes
your dues worth-while alone! The MOONEY PILOT is an
up-scale, professionally edited, "wealth of Mooney knowledge" magazine
directed to increase the fun, safety and utility of your Mooney ownership and
flying experience while aiming towards decreasing the cost and frustration
level you may experience. Due
the six open (or public) issues a year we mail free to all U.S
registered M20 owners, one could say it is actually "The Worlds Most Widely Read Mooney Enthusiasts
Magazine"!
Read elsewhere in this site for more
information about The MOONEY PILOT Magazine.
2) MOA's Price Guide: The only database listing of official common
maintenance procedures, refurbishment, modification, parts prices and labor rates known to
exist anywhere on Mooney aircraft!
No more sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach when you
look over your maintenance invoices as for the first time in history Mooney owners can know what typical
maintenance, re-furb, and mod prices are before you pay your next shop invoice! MOA
canvas's numerous Mooney specialty shops and inputs their prices so you are sure your
invoice is fair. Members are using Price Guide to compare
"apples to apples" and to make sure their invoices are reasonable.
MOA

MOA Pilot Mag. both ways, the usual printed magazine via U.S. Mail, and

3)** M20 Flash
E's; MOA's Unique Mooney
Owner SB & AD automatic E-mail notifications

We
are setting up procedures to automatically notify you of
all Urgent Factory Service Bulletins, Proposed or Pending AD's, and actual Ads which
affect your specific Mooney. Many times important SB's & AD's can go un-noticed
simply because owners do not receive proper notification. Don't let this happen to
you. This service is worth the price of membership alone. Members will no
longer have to be "the last to know" and can be first in line for those
sometimes hard to get parts which many AD's and SB's mandate.
4) MOA's M20
Technical Pro And Troubleshooter Columns
MOA Members get all 12 months of our
M20 Technical Troubleshooter Column as penned by noted Mooney experts. You are never be alone when
or if un-expected trouble, or an aviation "incident" strikes!
We forward your email request directly to one of our M20 Troubleshooters who will
assist you to make those tough "on the spot" maintenance, accident/repairs, 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't properly informed.
Learn how (for example) your Mooney may even be better after
an incident than before by being able to include some newer style OEM components or
up-dates in the repair process (at no additional cost) while your insurance company pays
the bill.!
5) MOA's Medical Experts
Protect your Medical. Have a
special medical or medication query you need answered? Ask MOA's Medical
Expert.
6) Access To MOA's Mooney related
Dispute Arbitration Panel and MOA's Advisory Board
Lets face it. While we would
like it to be perfect, sometimes our world simply isn't! Let YOUR association help
with
disputes concerning your Mooney. Sometimes we
can
help eliminate hard feelings and/or expensive attorneys. Oftentimes all that is necessary
is a third party's intervention to restore good client relations and
warm feelings. MOA provides a potential outlet (via The Mooney Pilot magazine) to serving to ward off similar problems in
the future for benefit of every Mooney owner. For once "You are not
alone....."
Note: Every MOA Member is eligible to participate in MOA's
Advisory Board of Directors. Click on the address to E MAIL the MOA Advisory
Board at: admin@moapilot.com Interested?
It is you're association....get involved!

Know what your Mooney is worth at all
times. Your MOA Membership garners you a computerized appraisal on your specific
Mooney equipped just like it is, or the way you envision. This Feature
is COMING SOON as
we set up an on-line submission form.
9) Aviation Attorney Referral Service To a MOA Certified "aviation
savvy" Attorney
Nowadays it pays to get expert legal advise if
the FAA calls or sends you a "how come" or "please explain" letter.
Protect your license and right to fly your Mooney! MOA will provide names of
aviation savvy attorneys to answer your questions. 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 or E mail MOA! Click on the address to EMAIL the MOA Attorney
Referral at: admin@moapilot.com
10) MOA's Unique
Fly-Guide and (coming soon) MOA's "Welcome Wings" Hospitality Directory When you take off for the airways and need
advice as to where to stay, where to eat, maybe a simple ride into town, or even a place
to stay, our MOA Member Welcome
Wings Hospitality
Directory will be there to give you access to a fellow Mooney enthusiast just
when you need one! Our Electronic directory will
provide several categories of "help" ranging from simple local advice to maybe
even a fellow MOAs Members own spare bedroom for the night.
If interest allows, a special
section may be devoted to MOA members who may have a vacation condo, house, or apartment
to rent to fellow Mooniacs.

Foundation will soon be sponsoring Mooney Pilots Clinics to increase the level of
maintenance and safety awareness of Mooney ownership and operation. The foundation
will also publish a comprehensive NTSB/FAA Accident and Incident Reports as analyzed
through the eyes of Mooney Maintenance and Flying Pros so as we can all learn from others
mistakes w/out having to repeat them! CLICK HERE to go

Compare These
Outstanding Benefits to ANY OTHER Pilot/Owner Organization!
- *IMOA/MOA is an independent
"Members Owned" Organization and as such is not associated with or a part of,
Mooney Aircraft Co., Insurance Agency or Carrier,, or any other owners group or
organization.
**Not For Profit status has been applied for and is pending.
See our accountants status report.
* Note: A major benefit of of MOA Membership is receiving all 12 monthly issues
of our professionally edited publication, MOA's Mooney Pilot Magazine.
However in response to a recent poll of Mooney owners, MOA is offering many additional
ancillary on-line member benefits and programs which are either active now such as
MOA's Price Guide, or will be available soon. As you review this Member Benefits Section, we feel
you will agree that we will provide far more benefits than any any other aircraft owners
group. In fact, most all of the time consuming and expensive behind the scenes
programming work has already been done on several valuable benefits such as our MLS
and Mooney Parts Locator Service so they should be fully
operational soon.
Therefore, we ask new members please be
patient when joining MOA and take note of the construction sign icon generally indicating
which benefit programs are under currently under construction as of 8/8/00.
Should upon joining for any reason you not be pleased and wish to receive a
refund, please email us within 60 days of your
initial membership and you will cheerfully receive a complete refund. |
