Description
The C100085-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation chain fuel cap supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It fits the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.02 lbs, and measures 9 (L) x 0.45 (W) x 0.2 (H) in.
Because the C100085-3 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 Skyhawk and Skylane aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Supplied as a defined part in the manufacturer's catalog, its exact role is set by the aircraft's parts and maintenance data. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide.
An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. Because aircraft parts are governed by strict airworthiness and traceability rules, fitting the OEM part rather than an unapproved equivalent keeps the installation eligible and the aircraft's records clean.
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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
