Description
The 0531115-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation shim that establishes proper spacing or alignment in an assembly. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 0531115-1 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Fastening and retaining hardware may look simple, but grade, size, and finish are specified for the joint each secures — the correct part matters. The factory part is built to the manufacturer's material and dimensional specification, so it installs as designed without the surprises a generic equivalent can bring.
Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration.
Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated.
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.
