LUG

The 0442506-8 is a genuine Textron Aviation lug supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 0442506-8 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records. Across the Cessna Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct. This is a cataloged factory part whose form, fit, and function are established by the manufacturer's approved data. 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. Using the factory part number preserves configuration control, so the airframe stays consistent with its approved type design and the work is straightforward to sign off at inspection. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation. 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. Request a quote for 0442506-8, or browse more Cessna Skyhawk parts on Flying411.
