Description
The 0553021-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation clip assembly used to fasten, secure, or retain components during assembly of the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Because the 0553021-3 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.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
Aircraft hardware is called out to a specific specification for each location; an off-the-shelf equivalent is rarely acceptable. 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. 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.
For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for.
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.
