Description
The 0442512-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation dampener 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 0442512-1 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
This is a cataloged factory part whose form, fit, and function are established by the manufacturer's approved data. The value of an OEM part is as much in its paperwork and pedigree as its metal — both of which an aircraft's records require.
On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
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.
The Cessna name is among the most recognized in aviation — founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and part of Textron since 1992, today a cornerstone of Textron Aviation. 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.
