Description
The 0523513-13 is a genuine Textron Aviation rib that serves as a load-carrying member of the airframe structure. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.42 pounds, and measures 35.65 (L) x 6.65 (W) x 0.85 (H) Inches.
Because the 0523513-13 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.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
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. 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.
Because aircraft parts are governed by strict airworthiness and traceability rules, fitting the OEM part rather than an unapproved equivalent keeps the installation eligible and the aircraft's records clean.
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.
