Description
The 0512199-2 is a genuine Textron Aviation hinge bracket upper — a support fitting that secures or positions a component in the airframe. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.03 pounds, and measures 2.5 (L) x 1.8 (W) x 1.15 (H) Inches.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 0512199-2 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Because it carries motion through a system, the exact part preserves the geometry the design depends on. Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated.
An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. Using the factory part number preserves configuration control, so the airframe stays consistent with its approved type design and the work is straightforward to sign off at inspection.
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. 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.
