RETAINER

The 6361112-16 is a genuine Textron Aviation retainer — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe. It is applicable to the Citation CJ3, CJ3+, CJ3+ Gen 2, CJ3 Gen 3. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 6361112-16 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records. Because the Cessna Citation aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. Aircraft hardware is called out to a specific specification for each location; an off-the-shelf equivalent is rarely acceptable. 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. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application. 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. Cessna's Citation line, launched with the Model 500 in the early 1970s, grew into the best-selling business-jet family in the world, spanning today from the light M2 to the super-midsize Longitude.
