Description
The 0513573-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation cover installation panel — a covering that encloses or provides access to part of the airframe. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.06 pounds, and measures 15.75 (L) x 1.4 (W) x 0.75 (H) Inches.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 0513573-3 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.
Panels, doors, and covers enclose and provide access to the airframe, and the correct part preserves fit, sealing, and aerodynamic surface. The factory part is built to the manufacturer's material and dimensional specification, so it installs as designed without the surprises a generic equivalent can bring.
Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration.
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. The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most-produced aircraft in history, with more than 44,000 built since 1956, and remains in production under Textron Aviation.
