Meet Mooney M20 family
The M20 name spans a family of low-wing, four-seat aircraft rather than one fixed specification. Different engines, equipment and fuselage developments produced numerous versions over its history. The simulator catalogue identifies the particular model or development project. Family photographs and numerical tables carry their own scope so earlier aircraft are not confused with later Ovations.
