EXTRUSION

The CM3902-8 is a genuine Textron Aviation extrusion supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the CM3902-8 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 Cessna Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct. This is a cataloged factory part whose form, fit, and function are established by the manufacturer's approved data. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value. 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. Cessna traces to the company Clyde Cessna founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927; Textron Inc. acquired it in 1992, and since 2014 it has anchored Textron Aviation alongside Beechcraft and Hawker. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today. Request a quote for CM3902-8 or browse more Cessna Skyhawk parts on Flying411.
