That works (to a point) in a Cessna. Try that in a Mooney and you'll get
a very close look at the numbers on the far end of the runway as you go

Don't they put airbrakes on those Moony things, some type of dragons
teeth arrangement?


Mooney offers that as a factory option - starting maybe 10 years ago.
STCs are available for older models -

of Mooneys in existence do not have the speed brakes.

The speedbrakes, BTW, are electrically actuated and are "all or nothing".
