Description
The 0555250-17 is a genuine Textron Aviation baffle seal used to keep a joint or pass-through tight. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0555250-17 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.
Across the Cessna Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
Sealing components are sized and compounded for the fluids, temperatures, and pressures they contain, so the exact specified part maintains a tight joint. 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.
For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration.
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.
