Description
The 0501144-16 is a genuine Textron Aviation panel assembly pilot inboard — a covering that encloses or provides access to part of the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 0501144-16 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
An access or covering component is shaped to the airframe; the specified part keeps fit, finish, and any sealing as intended. Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated.
On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
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 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.
