GUARD

The 1260543-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation guard supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.03 lbs, and measures 4.7 (L) x 2.25 (W) x 0.05 (H) in. Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 1260543-1 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 Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common. Supplied as a defined part in the manufacturer's catalog, its exact role is set by the aircraft's parts and maintenance data. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. 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. Request a quote for 1260543-1, or browse more Cessna Skyhawk parts on Flying411.
