Description
The 0716623-8 is a genuine Textron Aviation fuel selector valve handle — a flow-control element for a fluid or pneumatic system. It is fitted to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.04 pounds, and measures 2.7 (L) x 0.7 (W) x 0.5 (H) Inches.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0716623-8 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.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
Because it handles pressurized fluid or air, a component like this is specified precisely for its service — the right part keeps the system sound. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated.
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.
