Description
The 0511238-2 is a genuine Textron Aviation hinge half assembly used to hinge, latch, or operate a door, panel, or access point. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.36 pounds, and measures 9.15 (L) x 1.5 (W) x 0.6 (H) Inches.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0511238-2 is built to the aircraft maker's specification and cross-references the type design as documented in the maintenance data. Choosing the genuine part over an unapproved substitute preserves configuration control and simplifies inspection sign-offs.
Across the Cessna Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
Parts in a mechanical or control run must match the design geometry to keep rigging, travel, and feel correct. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide.
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.
The Cessna name is among the most recognized in aviation — founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and part of Textron since 1992, today a cornerstone of Textron Aviation. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
