Description
The 0512100-13 is a genuine Textron Aviation skin — the formed sheet-metal covering fastened over the underlying airframe structure. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
As an original-equipment (OEM) structural part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0512100-13 is manufactured to the aircraft maker's specification for material, dimensions, and finish, and cross-references the type design exactly as documented in the maintenance data. For a structural member, the genuine correctly identified part preserves the engineered load paths and keeps the airframe configuration-correct.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
Structural parts like this carry and transfer loads through the airframe, so exact form and fit are essential to preserving the design's strength and fatigue life. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections.
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 factory part is built to the manufacturer's material and dimensional specification, so it installs as designed without the surprises a generic equivalent can bring.
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.
