TAILCONE ASSY

The 0512010-38 is a genuine Textron Aviation tailcone assembly supplied as a built-up assembly of several components in a single installable unit. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. Because the 0512010-38 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. Supplied as a defined part in the manufacturer's catalog, its exact role is set by the aircraft's parts and maintenance data. 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. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. 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. 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.
