Description
The 0531018-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation rudder hinge bracket that mounts, locates, or braces a component within the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.03 lbs, and measures 2.05 (L) x 1.1 (W) x 0.75 (H) in.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 0531018-3 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
Control and mechanism components transmit motion precisely, so correct geometry and fit are essential to proper rigging and system travel. 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. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for.
Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
The Cessna name is among the most recognized in aviation — founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and part of Textron since 1992, today a cornerstone of Textron Aviation. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
