Description
The 0310196-12 is a genuine Textron Aviation spring that provides return force or tension within a mechanism. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99, weighs 0.12 lbs, and measures 4.9 (L) x 0.65 (W) x 0.65 (H) in.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0310196-12 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 aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
Because it carries motion through a system, the exact part preserves the geometry the design depends on. 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.
Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
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.
