Description
The 0516009-18 is a genuine Textron Aviation fuel reservoir assembly — a factory assembly of several components supplied together as one serviceable unit. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 1.06 pounds, and measures 15.7 (L) x 8.9 (W) x 7.5 (H) Inches.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0516009-18 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.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Because it handles pressurized fluid or air, a component like this is specified precisely for its service — the right part keeps the system sound. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger.
OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections.
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.
