Description
The 81007-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation ballast kit supplied as a grouped set of parts for a particular maintenance task. It is fitted to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 81007-1 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 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. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
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.
Built by Textron Aviation, whose Cessna line was founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and joined Textron in 1992, this part carries one of general aviation's most storied names. The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most-produced aircraft in history, with more than 44,000 built since 1956, and remains in production under Textron Aviation.
