Description
The D13728 is a genuine Textron Aviation extrusion supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is fitted to the Skyhawk and Skylane.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the D13728 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.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane 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. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front.
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.
