- Built of
- steel tube and aluminiumA welded steel-tube frame carries the loads, with aluminium (and some fibreglass) skins over it. The first M20 and M20A (1955 to 1960) had wooden wings and tails; all later ones are metal. This is how the Mooney M-20 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N3409N, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.
Valid registration to Schaffhauser Daniel, an individual, certificate issued October 17, 2025, expires October 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for normal, dated October 24, 1967, consistent with the 1967 manufacture year. [1]

N3409N was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper J3C-65 (serial 22615, cancelled February 19, 1952). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N3409N. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
