GRAPHIC

The 117257-02-08 is a genuine Textron Aviation graphic 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. Because the 117257-02-08 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. This is a cataloged factory part whose form, fit, and function are established by the manufacturer's approved data. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application. The factory part is built to the manufacturer's material and dimensional specification, so it installs as designed without the surprises a generic equivalent can bring. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value. 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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today. Request a quote for 117257-02-08, or browse more Cessna Skyhawk parts on Flying411.
