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 N61YN, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

CLEARTail number reuse

No other airframe has carried N61YN according to the deregistered file. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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]
