Arm Assembly Flap

The 0523901-13 is a genuine Textron Aviation arm assembly flap supplied as a built-up assembly of several components in a single installable unit. It is applicable to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.27 pounds, and measures 10.95 (L) x 3.4 (W) x 0.8 (H) Inches. Because the 0523901-13 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 and Skylane aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. Control and mechanism components transmit motion precisely, so correct geometry and fit are essential to proper rigging and system travel. 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. Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger. Cessna traces to the company Clyde Cessna founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927; Textron Inc. acquired it in 1992, and since 2014 it has anchored Textron Aviation alongside Beechcraft and Hawker. 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.
