HINGE

The 0531103-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation hinge used to hinge, latch, or operate a door, panel, or access point. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.06 pounds, and measures 1.75 (L) x 1.4 (W) x 1.45 (H) Inches. As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0531103-3 is built to the aircraft maker's specification and cross-references the type design as documented in the maintenance data. Choosing the genuine part over an unapproved substitute preserves configuration control and simplifies inspection sign-offs. Because the Cessna Skyhawk 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. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation. 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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today. Request a quote for 0531103-3, or browse more Cessna Skyhawk parts on Flying411.
