Description
The AN320-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation nut — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe. It is fitted to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the AN320-1 is built to the aircraft maker's specification and cross-references the type design as documented in the maintenance data. Choosing the genuine part over an unapproved substitute preserves configuration control and simplifies inspection sign-offs.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
Strength grade and finish define aircraft hardware, so matching the specified part keeps the joint as designed. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation.
OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
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. 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.
