SPRING CABIN DOOR LATCHING

The 0717026-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation spring cabin door latching — a covering that encloses or provides access to part of the airframe. It is applicable to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99, weighs 0.01 lbs, and measures 1.95 (L) x 0.26 (W) x 0.26 (H) in. As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0717026-3 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. Because the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. Control and mechanism components transmit motion precisely, so correct geometry and fit are essential to proper rigging and system travel. 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. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide. 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.
