Description
The 0718017-15 is a genuine Textron Aviation panel assembly — a covering that encloses or provides access to part of the airframe. It is applicable to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Because the 0718017-15 is an original-equipment (OEM) part sourced directly from Textron Aviation, it matches the exact specification and placement called out in the aircraft's type design and maintenance data — assurance a generic substitute cannot offer.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
An access or covering component is shaped to the airframe; the specified part keeps fit, finish, and any sealing as intended. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration.
On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
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.
