Description
The 0552240-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation doubler — a reinforcing plate that locally strengthens an area of skin or structure. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.18 pounds, and measures 15.5 (L) x 8.25 (W) x 0.7 (H) Inches.
As an original-equipment (OEM) structural part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0552240-1 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. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections.
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.
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.
