Do I need an FAA approved flight manual for my 65 Mooney M20C?
Asked by: Ryan Yoder 4947 views General Aviation
I have done some research on this and I think the answer is NO I don't as it wasn't listed as required equipment in the type certificate data sheet found here.

I also found this site which mentions that many models of older aircraft don't require an FAA approved flight manual.

This is an easy question for a modern aircraft, however I believe that for my airplane all I need is the operating limitations in the form of markings. I do carry a PDF printout of the Owners Manual but it is not tied to my SN and it was printed on my laser printer. My CFI told me I need something more official so I emailed Mooney and haven't gotten a reply yet.
