Nonskid Strut Step Tape

The 0513591-5 is a genuine Textron Aviation nonskid strut step tape that serves within the aircraft landing-gear system. It is applicable to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. Because the 0513591-5 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 and Skylane aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common. Parts in the landing-gear system are load-critical and often life-limited; using the specified airworthy part is not an area for compromise. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger. Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated. 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. 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.
