Description
The 49-331 is a genuine Textron Aviation shiping pl supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data.
This is a cataloged factory part whose form, fit, and function are established by the manufacturer's approved data. Confirm fitment against your airframe's parts data — effectivity, modifications, and supersessions all affect which number applies.
Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value. Because interchangeability rules can apply, confirm the exact applicable part for your configuration in the IPC before installation.
The value of an OEM part is as much in its paperwork and pedigree as its metal — both of which an aircraft's records require. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger.
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. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration.
Textron Aviation supports aircraft owners, operators, and MROs worldwide with genuine Cessna and Beechcraft parts from Wichita, Kansas.
