Description
The 1205085-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation placard ELT — a marking that identifies a control, limitation, or servicing point on the aircraft. It is applicable to the Caravan or Grand Caravan EX, Skyhawk, and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 1205085-3 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Caravan, Skyhawk, and Skylane aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
A marking like this is part of the airframe's standardized labeling; the specified part keeps required information correct, legible, and compliant. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application.
On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide.
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. Cessna's single-engine Caravan turboprop, in production since 1984, is one of the most widely used utility aircraft in the world.
