CHANNEL

The 0523406-4 is a genuine Textron Aviation channel that serves a joining or reinforcing role within the airframe structure. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 1.04 pounds, and measures 60.25 (L) x 5.45 (W) x 1.2 (H) Inches. Because the 0523406-4 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. 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. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. 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.
