- 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 N578TA, 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 Wag Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued January 10, 2020, expires January 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The registration expires on January 31, 2027, in 100 days. Renewal is routine but must be done by the owner of record. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]

No other airframe has carried N578TA according to the deregistered file. [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 N578TA. 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.
