STIFFENER

The 0523022-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation stiffener that reinforces a skin or spar and helps carry loads through the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 1 pounds, and measures 54.38 (L) x 1.25 (W) x 1 (H) Inches. Because the 0523022-1 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. 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. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. 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. 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.
