Description
The 0550361-26 is a genuine Textron Aviation hinge assembly that operates a door, panel, or access point. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0550361-26 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.
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.
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. Using the factory part number preserves configuration control, so the airframe stays consistent with its approved type design and the work is straightforward to sign off at inspection.
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. 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.
