Description
The 0512157-10 is a genuine Textron Aviation bulkhead assembly aft fuselage that serves as a load-carrying member of the airframe structure. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 1.12 lbs, and measures 18.3 (L) x 12.1 (W) x 1.95 (H) in.
Because the 0512157-10 is an original-equipment (OEM) structural component from Textron Aviation, it is built to the airframe manufacturer's specification and matches the type design as documented. Fitting the genuine part preserves the wing or airframe's engineered strength and keeps installation and inspection records clean.
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. 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.
Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger.
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.
