Description
The 0523097-7 is a genuine Textron Aviation stringer supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.58 pounds, and measures 124.1 (L) x 1 (W) x 0.45 (H) Inches.
Because the 0523097-7 is an original-equipment (OEM) part sourced directly from Textron Aviation, it matches the exact specification and placement called out in the aircraft's type design and maintenance data — assurance a generic substitute cannot offer.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
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. 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.
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.
