BRACKET

The 0501174-2 is a genuine Textron Aviation bracket — a support fitting that secures or positions a component in the airframe. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. Because the 0501174-2 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 aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common. A support or bracket component holds a system or structure in its correct place, so the right part preserves alignment and clearance. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. 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. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. 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.
