Description
The 0509071-2 is a genuine Textron Aviation seal used to keep a joint or pass-through tight. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.14 pounds, and measures 13.05 (L) x 1.95 (W) x 0.1 (H) Inches.
Because the 0509071-2 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.
Across the Cessna Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
A seal or gasket keeps a joint tight against its service conditions; only the specified part reliably maintains that integrity. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
The factory part is built to the manufacturer's material and dimensional specification, so it installs as designed without the surprises a generic equivalent can bring. 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.
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.
