Description
The 0718018-5 is a genuine Textron Aviation bus bar supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It fits the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Because the 0718018-5 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.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
Ratings, tolerances, and interfaces are what define an electrical part; matching the specified item keeps the system working as certified. Because aircraft parts are governed by strict airworthiness and traceability rules, fitting the OEM part rather than an unapproved equivalent keeps the installation eligible and the aircraft's records clean.
For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
