Description
The 0512242-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation holder supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0512242-1 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.
Across the Cessna Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
This is a cataloged factory part whose form, fit, and function are established by the manufacturer's approved data. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application.
Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger.
On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front.
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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
