Description
The 0512100-38 is a genuine Textron Aviation skin — the formed sheet-metal covering fastened over the underlying airframe structure. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 1.75 pounds, and measures 30.7 (L) x 23.65 (W) x 7.3 (H) Inches.
As an original-equipment (OEM) structural part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0512100-38 is manufactured to the aircraft maker's specification for material, dimensions, and finish, and cross-references the type design exactly as documented in the maintenance data. For a structural member, the genuine correctly identified part preserves the engineered load paths and keeps the airframe configuration-correct.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Structural parts like this carry and transfer loads through the airframe, so exact form and fit are essential to preserving the design's strength and fatigue life. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application.
An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
