DOUBLER ASSY

The 0523048-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation doubler assembly used to reinforce and locally strengthen a skin or structural member. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. Because the 0523048-1 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 aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. As a load-bearing element, a part in this role must match the original material and dimensions precisely to keep the airframe's engineered strength intact. 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. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. 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.
