Description
The 0543062-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation nose gear shock strut assembly — a component of the aircraft landing-gear system. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 18.91 pounds, and measures 26.5 (L) x 7.85 (W) x 9.9 (H) Inches.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0543062-3 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.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
Landing-gear components absorb high, cyclic loads on every takeoff and landing, so a correct, airworthy part is essential to safe operation. Because aircraft parts are governed by strict airworthiness and traceability rules, fitting the OEM part rather than an unapproved equivalent keeps the installation eligible and the aircraft's records clean.
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.
Cessna traces to the company Clyde Cessna founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927; Textron Inc. acquired it in 1992, and since 2014 it has anchored Textron Aviation alongside Beechcraft and Hawker. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
