Description
The 118021-02 is a genuine Textron Aviation graphic kit supplied as a grouped set of parts for a particular maintenance task. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 118021-02 is built to the aircraft maker's specification and cross-references the type design as documented in the maintenance data. Choosing the genuine part over an unapproved substitute preserves configuration control and simplifies inspection sign-offs.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
This is a cataloged factory part whose form, fit, and function are established by the manufacturer's approved data. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation.
An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for.
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.
