Description
The F990308 is a genuine Textron Aviation fabric fastner supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is applicable to the Caravan or Grand Caravan EX, Citation III, VI or VII, and Skyhawk.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the F990308 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 Caravan, Citation, and Skyhawk 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.
OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger.
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.
