Description
The 0511042-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation door stop — a covering that encloses or provides access to part of the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.08 pounds, and measures 3.25 (L) x 0.8 (W) x 0.6 (H) Inches.
Because the 0511042-3 is an original-equipment (OEM) part sourced directly from Textron Aviation, it matches the exact specification and placement called out in the aircraft's type design and maintenance data — assurance a generic substitute cannot offer.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
A covering part like this is contoured to the structure, so the right one maintains both fit and the smooth external surface. 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.
Using the factory part number preserves configuration control, so the airframe stays consistent with its approved type design and the work is straightforward to sign off at inspection. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation.
Cessna traces to the company Clyde Cessna founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927; Textron Inc. acquired it in 1992, and since 2014 it has anchored Textron Aviation alongside Beechcraft and Hawker. 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.
