Description
The 0512187-6 is a genuine Textron Aviation door post — a covering that encloses or provides access to part of the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.53 pounds, and measures 16 (L) x 5.1 (W) x 1.5 (H) Inches.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0512187-6 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.
Panels, doors, and covers enclose and provide access to the airframe, and the correct part preserves fit, sealing, and aerodynamic surface. 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.
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.
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. 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.
