Description
The HPL3-4-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation latch used to hinge, latch, or operate a door, panel, or access point. It is applicable to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the HPL3-4-1 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
Across the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
Control and mechanism components transmit motion precisely, so correct geometry and fit are essential to proper rigging and system travel. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front.
The factory part is built to the manufacturer's material and dimensional specification, so it installs as designed without the surprises a generic equivalent can bring. Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated.
Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application.
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.
