Description
The AS5178-08 is a genuine Textron Aviation nut plain hexagon — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe. It is applicable to the 1900 Airliner, Baron Series B55, E55, 58 or G58, Bonanza 36, Citation III, VI or VII, Citation Latitude, Citation Longitude, Citation Sovereign or Sovereign+, King Air 350 Fusion, King Air 350C FM-36 & On, and King Air 350C Fusion, among other compatible variants. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the AS5178-08 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.
Across the Beechcraft 1900, Beechcraft Baron, Beechcraft Bonanza, Cessna Citation, Beechcraft King Air, Cessna Skyhawk, and Cessna Stationair fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
Aircraft hardware is called out to a specific specification for each location; an off-the-shelf equivalent is rarely acceptable.
Both the Cessna and Beechcraft lines are supported today by Textron Aviation, formed in 2014 to unite the two historic Wichita manufacturers with Hawker. The Beechcraft 1900, a 19-passenger regional airliner derived from the King Air, was produced from 1982 to 2002 and still serves commuter and cargo operators worldwide.
