Description
The 0522652-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation fuel bay doubler used to reinforce and locally strengthen a skin or structural member. It fits the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.12 pounds, and measures 6.7 (L) x 5.2 (W) x 0.1 (H) Inches.
Because the 0522652-1 is an original-equipment (OEM) structural component from Textron Aviation, it is built to the airframe manufacturer's specification and matches the type design as documented. Fitting the genuine part preserves the wing or airframe's engineered strength and keeps installation and inspection records clean.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Structural parts like this carry and transfer loads through the airframe, so exact form and fit are essential to preserving the design's strength and fatigue life. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation.
Because aircraft parts are governed by strict airworthiness and traceability rules, fitting the OEM part rather than an unapproved equivalent keeps the installation eligible and the aircraft's records clean.
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.
