Description
The 0501081-5 is a genuine Textron Aviation spacer that establishes proper spacing or alignment in an assembly. It fits the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0501081-5 is built to the aircraft maker's specification and cross-references the type design as documented in the maintenance data. Choosing the genuine part over an unapproved substitute preserves configuration control and simplifies inspection sign-offs.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Strength grade and finish define aircraft hardware, so matching the specified part keeps the joint as designed. The value of an OEM part is as much in its paperwork and pedigree as its metal — both of which an aircraft's records require.
OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. The factory part is built to the manufacturer's material and dimensional specification, so it installs as designed without the surprises a generic equivalent can bring.
The Cessna name is among the most recognized in aviation — founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and part of Textron since 1992, today a cornerstone of Textron Aviation. The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most-produced aircraft in history, with more than 44,000 built since 1956, and remains in production under Textron Aviation.
