Description
The 6900173 is a genuine Textron Aviation inverter glarshield post lites supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is applicable to the Citation Excel, XLS, XLS+, XLS Gen 2, Citation X, Skyhawk, and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 6900173 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Citation, Skyhawk, and Skylane aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
As a factory-supplied item for a type-certificated aircraft, this part is defined by the manufacturer's specification and applicability data. Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated.
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. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
Cessna traces to the company Clyde Cessna founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927; Textron Inc. acquired it in 1992, and since 2014 it has anchored Textron Aviation alongside Beechcraft and Hawker. 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.
