BRACKET

The 0523408-0 is a genuine Textron Aviation bracket that mounts, locates, or braces a component within the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. Because the 0523408-0 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. Across the Cessna Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct. A support or bracket component holds a system or structure in its correct place, so the right part preserves alignment and clearance. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. 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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today. Request a quote for 0523408-0, or browse more Cessna Skyhawk parts on Flying411.
