PISTON

The 0842400-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation piston supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.04 pounds, and measures 1.1 (L) x 1.15 (W) x 0.45 (H) Inches. Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 0842400-3 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records. Across the Cessna Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct. As a factory-supplied item for a type-certificated aircraft, this part is defined by the manufacturer's specification and applicability data. 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. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. 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.
