Description
The 0512172-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation centerline flap cable lower mounting pulley bracket — a support fitting that secures or positions a component in the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.03 pounds, and measures 4.15 (L) x 1 (W) x 1.25 (H) Inches.
Because the 0512172-3 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.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
In an aircraft's electrical system, using the correct component preserves the circuit's designed behavior, reliability, and safety. 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.
OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation.
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.
