Description
The 0552229-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation left-hand cover — a covering that encloses or provides access to part of the airframe. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Because the 0552229-3 is an original-equipment (OEM) part sourced directly from Textron Aviation, it matches the exact specification and placement called out in the aircraft's type design and maintenance data — assurance a generic substitute cannot offer.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
An access or covering component is shaped to the airframe; the specified part keeps fit, finish, and any sealing as intended. 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.
Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
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. 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.
