FITTING

The 0516023-4 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. Because the 0516023-4 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. Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. Because it fixes position within the airframe, a bracket or support must be the correct part to keep alignment true. The value of an OEM part is as much in its paperwork and pedigree as its metal — both of which an aircraft's records require. Using the factory part number preserves configuration control, so the airframe stays consistent with its approved type design and the work is straightforward to sign off at inspection. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide. 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.
