SPRING

The 0460216-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation spring that provides return force or tension within a mechanism. It fits the Citation CJ1 or CJ1+, Citation CJ2 or CJ2+, Citation Excel, XLS, XLS+, XLS Gen 2, and Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99, weighs 0.02 lbs, and measures 2.3 (L) x 0.35 (W) x 0.4 (H) in. As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0460216-1 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. Across the Cessna Citation and Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct. 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. 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 Citation family is the best-selling line of business jets ever built, and more than 7,500 have been delivered worldwide.
