Left Hand Bulkhead Reinforcement Doubler

The 0512232-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation left-hand hand bulkhead reinforcement doubler — a reinforcing plate that locally strengthens an area of skin or structure. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. As an original-equipment (OEM) structural part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0512232-1 is manufactured to the aircraft maker's specification for material, dimensions, and finish, and cross-references the type design exactly as documented in the maintenance data. For a structural member, the genuine correctly identified part preserves the engineered load paths and keeps the airframe configuration-correct. Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. Structural parts like this carry and transfer loads through the airframe, so exact form and fit are essential to preserving the design's strength and fatigue life. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. 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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today. Request a quote for 0512232-1, or browse more Cessna Skyhawk parts on Flying411.
