Description
The 117257-01 is a genuine Textron Aviation kit graphi supplied as a grouped set of parts for a particular maintenance task. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Because the 117257-01 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 aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
Supplied as a defined part in the manufacturer's catalog, its exact role is set by the aircraft's parts and maintenance data. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration.
Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front.
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.
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. 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.
