Description
The 0514215-16 is a genuine Textron Aviation fitting — a support fitting that secures or positions a component in the airframe. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0514215-16 is built to the aircraft maker's specification and cross-references the type design as documented in the maintenance data. Choosing the genuine part over an unapproved substitute preserves configuration control and simplifies inspection sign-offs.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
Because it fixes position within the airframe, a bracket or support must be the correct part to keep alignment true. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration.
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. 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.
