Description
The 0552212-42 is a genuine Textron Aviation skin assembly — the formed sheet-metal covering fastened over the underlying airframe structure. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 3.4 pounds, and measures 34.75 (L) x 32 (W) x 12 (H) Inches.
As an original-equipment (OEM) structural part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0552212-42 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. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for.
Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger.
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.
