Description
The 0511783-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation drum assembly — a factory assembly of several components supplied together as one serviceable unit. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 0511783-1 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
As a factory-supplied item for a type-certificated aircraft, this part is defined by the manufacturer's specification and applicability data. 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. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide.
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.
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.
