PLATE,LH

The 0523113-5 is a genuine Textron Aviation left-hand plate supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 0523113-5 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records. Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. This is a cataloged factory part whose form, fit, and function are established by the manufacturer's approved data. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide. 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. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger. 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.
