Description
The 0501081-2 is a genuine Textron Aviation spacer used to set correct clearance, alignment, or fit between parts. It fits the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Because the 0501081-2 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.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
Aircraft hardware is called out to a specific specification for each location; an off-the-shelf equivalent is rarely acceptable. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for.
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. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance.
Built by Textron Aviation, whose Cessna line was founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and joined Textron in 1992, this part carries one of general aviation's most storied names. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
