Mooney Acclaim Aircraft

The Mooney Acclaim (M20TN, later M20V Acclaim Ultra) is the fastest production piston single ever built — a twin-turbocharged Continental IO-550-G cruising up to about 242 knots. Introduced in 2006, the Acclaim took Mooney's speed crown from the Bravo and held it ever since. The Acclaim Ultra (2014+) adds a modern composite cabin and full Garmin G1000 NXi avionics. For an owner who wants the outright fastest piston single available, no other certified aircraft comes close.

Buying a Used Mooney Acclaim

Buying a Mooney Acclaim comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

  • Twin-turbo IO-550-G system — turbo condition, intercoolers, exhaust history; complex turbo plumbing is the major cost.
  • Oxygen system — built-in O2 for high-altitude operation (cruise altitudes up to FL250); check capacity and current.
  • TKS/FIKI de-ice — many Acclaims have known-icing-approved TKS systems; verify condition.
  • Acclaim Ultra (M20V) — G1000 NXi avionics and composite cabin command a premium.
  • Gear, tank reseal, corrosion — standard Mooney items.

Which Acclaim? Acclaim Ultra for the modern flagship; original Acclaim/Acclaim S for value at similar speed but older avionics.
