RIB

The 0523089-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation rib — an internal structural member that helps define the airframe's shape and carry its loads. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. As an original-equipment (OEM) structural part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0523089-1 is manufactured to the aircraft maker's specification for material, dimensions, and finish, and cross-references the type design exactly as documented in the maintenance data. For a structural member, the genuine correctly identified part preserves the engineered load paths and keeps the airframe configuration-correct. Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common. 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. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance. 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.
