PLACARD

The 1205009-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation placard that forms part of the aircraft's standardized labeling and marking scheme. It is applicable to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99. As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 1205009-1 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 and Skylane aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. Required placarding is a certificated detail of the aircraft, so the exact factory marking keeps the configuration correct at inspection. 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. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. 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.
