ANGLE

The 0523017-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation angle — a formed structural piece used to join, reinforce, or support airframe components. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0523017-3 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. Airframe structure of this kind is engineered to specific load paths; the correct part is what keeps those paths — and the aircraft's certified strength — unchanged. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. 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. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application. 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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today. Request a quote for 0523017-3 or browse more Cessna Skyhawk parts on Flying411.
