BRACKET L.H.

The 0511042-5 is a genuine Textron Aviation left-hand bracket that mounts, locates, or braces a component within the airframe. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.07 pounds, and measures 1.6 (L) x 1.75 (W) x 0.9 (H) Inches. Because the 0511042-5 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. Mounting and support hardware locates equipment, lines, or structure at defined points, and the exact part keeps everything positioned as designed. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application. 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 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. 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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
