Description
The 0512157-11 is a genuine Textron Aviation bulkhead that serves as a load-carrying member of the airframe structure. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.89 pounds, and measures 18.2 (L) x 12.15 (W) x 1.5 (H) Inches.
Because the 0512157-11 is an original-equipment (OEM) structural component from Textron Aviation, it is built to the airframe manufacturer's specification and matches the type design as documented. Fitting the genuine part preserves the wing or airframe's engineered strength and keeps installation and inspection records clean.
Across the Cessna Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
As a load-bearing element, a part in this role must match the original material and dimensions precisely to keep the airframe's engineered strength intact. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation.
An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger.
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. 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.
