PANEL

The 1200217-5 is a genuine Textron Aviation panel that encloses, provides access to, or streamlines part of the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. Because the 1200217-5 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. Because the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. A covering part like this is contoured to the structure, so the right one maintains both fit and the smooth external surface. 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. Using the factory part number preserves configuration control, so the airframe stays consistent with its approved type design and the work is straightforward to sign off at inspection. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application. The Cessna name is among the most recognized in aviation — founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and part of Textron since 1992, today a cornerstone of Textron Aviation. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
