DOUBLER

The 0552212-21 is a genuine Textron Aviation doubler — a reinforcing plate that locally strengthens an area of skin or structure. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.1 pounds, and measures 33.25 (L) x 7.9 (W) x 0.15 (H) Inches. As an original-equipment (OEM) structural part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0552212-21 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. Across the Cessna Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct. 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. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. 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.
