Built of
steel tube and aluminium
A 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 N57283, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Collins James L, an individual, certificate issued October 29, 2024, expires October 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated January 27, 1984, consistent with the 1984 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 24-1439 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N57283 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Aero Commander 500 S (serial 3205, cancelled July 15, 1981); Consolidated Vultee BT-13A (serial 6571, cancelled October 24, 1955). 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]

CLEARAccident and incident record
