Description
The 0511238-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation hinge half assembly used to hinge, latch, or operate a door, panel, or access point. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.38 pounds, and measures 9.15 (L) x 1.5 (W) x 0.5 (H) Inches.
Because the 0511238-1 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.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Parts in a mechanical or control run must match the design geometry to keep rigging, travel, and feel correct. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for.
On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. 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.
