Description
The 1217066-5 is a genuine Textron Aviation latch assembly used to hinge, latch, or operate a door, panel, or access point. It is applicable to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.34 pounds, and measures 3.9 (L) x 2.3 (W) x 2.3 (H) Inches.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 1217066-5 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
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. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application.
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. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance.
Built by Textron Aviation, whose Cessna line was founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and joined Textron in 1992, this part carries one of general aviation's most storied names. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
