Description
The 1217066-4 is a genuine Textron Aviation latch assembly used to hinge, latch, or operate a door, panel, or access point. It is fitted to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Because the 1217066-4 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.
Because it carries motion through a system, the exact part preserves the geometry the design depends on. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for.
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 this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance.
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.
