Cabin Door Latch Base Assembly

The 0717024-27 is a genuine Textron Aviation cabin door latch base assembly that operates a door, panel, or access point. It is fitted to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.54 pounds, and measures 3.9 (L) x 11.4 (W) x 1.65 (H) Inches. Because the 0717024-27 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. Across the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct. Parts in a mechanical or control run must match the design geometry to keep rigging, travel, and feel correct. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation. 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. Built by Textron Aviation, whose Cessna line was founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and joined Textron in 1992, this part carries one of general aviation's most storied names. 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.
