Description
The 0512201-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation gusset that serves a joining or reinforcing role within the airframe structure. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Because the 0512201-1 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.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
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. 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.
Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance.
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.
