Aircraft Part AS5178W03

The AS5178W03 is a genuine Textron Aviation component supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is fitted to the Caravan or Grand Caravan EX, Citation Excel, XLS, XLS+, XLS Gen 2, Citation III, VI or VII, Citation V, Ultra, Encore or Encore+, Citation X, Skyhawk, Skylane, and Stationair. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99. Because the AS5178W03 is an original-equipment (OEM) part sourced directly from Textron Aviation, it matches the exact specification and placement called out in the aircraft's type design and maintenance data — assurance a generic substitute cannot offer. Because the Cessna Caravan, Citation, Skyhawk, Skylane, and Stationair aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. As a factory-supplied item for a type-certificated aircraft, this part is defined by the manufacturer's specification and applicability data. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide. 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 single-engine Caravan turboprop, in production since 1984, is one of the most widely used utility aircraft in the world.
