Description
The 0513488-9 is a genuine Textron Aviation bulkhead — an internal structural member that helps define the airframe's shape and carry its loads. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.20 pounds, and measures 8.1 (L) x 3.25 (W) x 1.5 (H) Inches.
As an original-equipment (OEM) structural part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0513488-9 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.
An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
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.
