IRIDIUM SHELF ASSY

The 0512256-2 is a genuine Textron Aviation iridium shelf assembly — a factory assembly of several components supplied together as one serviceable unit. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 0512256-2 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. This is a cataloged factory part whose form, fit, and function are established by the manufacturer's approved data. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. 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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today. Request a quote for 0512256-2, or browse more Cessna Skyhawk parts on Flying411.
