PIN

The 0560026-4 is a genuine Textron Aviation pin — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.09 pounds, and measures 7.2 (L) x 2.1 (W) x 0.65 (H) Inches. As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0560026-4 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
