Rudder Hinge Bracket

The 0531018-4 is a genuine Textron Aviation rudder hinge bracket — a support fitting that secures or positions a component in the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.02 pounds, and measures 2.05 (L) x 0.8 (W) x 1.15 (H) Inches. Because the 0531018-4 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. 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. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. 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. 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.
