COVER

The 2400002-17 is a genuine Textron Aviation cover that encloses, provides access to, or streamlines part of the airframe. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. Because the 2400002-17 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. Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common. An access or covering component is shaped to the airframe; the specified part keeps fit, finish, and any sealing as intended. 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. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value. 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. Request a quote for 2400002-17, or browse more Cessna Skyhawk parts on Flying411.
