Description
The 0541218-2 is a genuine Textron Aviation right-hand main landing gear hand wheel fairing stiffener — a formed reinforcing member that adds rigidity and helps distribute structural loads. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.1 pounds, and measures 2.45 (L) x 8.8 (W) x 0.7 (H) Inches.
As an original-equipment (OEM) structural part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0541218-2 is manufactured to the aircraft maker's specification for material, dimensions, and finish, and cross-references the type design exactly as documented in the maintenance data. For a structural member, the genuine correctly identified part preserves the engineered load paths and keeps the airframe configuration-correct.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Structural parts like this carry and transfer loads through the airframe, so exact form and fit are essential to preserving the design's strength and fatigue life. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application.
Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance.
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.
