STARTER

The 149-NL/EC is a genuine Textron Aviation starter supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99, weighs 9.31 lbs, and measures 11.7 (L) x 4.5 (W) x 4.35 (H) in. Because the 149-NL/EC 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 aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. Supplied as a defined part in the manufacturer's catalog, its exact role is set by the aircraft's parts and maintenance data. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. 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. 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.
