Description
The 0512185-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation spacer used to set correct clearance, alignment, or fit between parts. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0512185-1 is built to the aircraft maker's specification and cross-references the type design as documented in the maintenance data. Choosing the genuine part over an unapproved substitute preserves configuration control and simplifies inspection sign-offs.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Fastening and retaining hardware may look simple, but grade, size, and finish are specified for the joint each secures — the correct part matters. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections.
OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. Because aircraft parts are governed by strict airworthiness and traceability rules, fitting the OEM part rather than an unapproved equivalent keeps the installation eligible and the aircraft's records clean.
The Cessna name is among the most recognized in aviation — founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and part of Textron since 1992, today a cornerstone of Textron Aviation. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
