GDU 1040 DISPLAY UNIT

The 011-00972-10 is a genuine Textron Aviation gdu 1040 display unit supplied as a built-up assembly of several components in a single installable unit. It is applicable to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 7A994, weighs 6.5 lbs, and measures 3.77 (L) x 11.8 (W) x 7.7 (H) in. Because the 011-00972-10 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. Across the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct. Supplied as a defined part in the manufacturer's catalog, its exact role is set by the aircraft's parts and maintenance data. 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. Because aircraft parts are governed by strict airworthiness and traceability rules, fitting the OEM part rather than an unapproved equivalent keeps the installation eligible and the aircraft's records clean. 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.
