Description
The AS5178W06 is a genuine Textron Aviation nut used to fasten, secure, or retain components during assembly of the airframe. It is applicable to the Caravan or Grand Caravan EX, Citation Excel, XLS, XLS+, XLS Gen 2, Citation Longitude, Citation Mustang, Citation V, Ultra, Encore or Encore+, Citation X, Citation X+, King Air 350 Fusion, King Air 350C FM-36 & On, and King Air 350C Fusion, among other compatible variants. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the AS5178W06 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.
Because the Cessna Caravan, Cessna Citation, Beechcraft King Air, Cessna SkyCourier, Cessna Skyhawk, Cessna Skylane, and Cessna Stationair aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Aircraft hardware is called out to a specific specification for each location; an off-the-shelf equivalent is rarely acceptable.
These aircraft are built by Textron Aviation, which unites Cessna (founded 1927) and Beechcraft (founded 1932) under one Wichita, Kansas company since 2014. Cessna's single-engine Caravan turboprop, in production since 1984, is one of the most widely used utility aircraft in the world.
