Description
The 0513418-201 is a genuine Textron Aviation left-hand hand refueling step assembly — a factory assembly of several components supplied together as one serviceable unit. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Because the 0513418-201 is an original-equipment (OEM) part sourced directly from Textron Aviation, it matches the exact specification and placement called out in the aircraft's type design and maintenance data — assurance a generic substitute cannot offer.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
As a factory-supplied item for a type-certificated aircraft, this part is defined by the manufacturer's specification and applicability data. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application.
An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections.
On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front.
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.
