Description
The 0717042-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation handle brushed that operates a door, panel, or access point. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.16 pounds, and measures 6.1 (L) x 1.95 (W) x 1 (H) Inches.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 0717042-3 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
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.
OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation.
Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance.
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.
