Description
The 0513520-18 is a genuine Textron Aviation skin — the formed sheet-metal covering fastened over the underlying airframe structure. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 3.26 pounds, and measures 35 (L) x 28.5 (W) x 2.75 (H) Inches.
As an original-equipment (OEM) structural part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0513520-18 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.
Across the Cessna Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
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. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application.
OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for.
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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
