LEAD

The 50221-16 is a genuine Textron Aviation lead supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. As a factory-supplied item for a type-certificated aircraft, this part is defined by the manufacturer's specification and applicability data. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger. Check effectivity and supersession status for your serial number so you order the currently applicable part. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. Part numbers can supersede over time, so verify the current applicable number for your airframe's serial and configuration before installation. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for. Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. Textron Aviation traces its roots to Cessna, founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927, and Beechcraft, founded there in 1932 — two of general aviation's most storied names, united under one company since 2014.
