Description
The MS21122-5 is a genuine Textron Aviation clamp — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Aircraft hardware is called out to a specific specification for each location; an off-the-shelf equivalent is rarely acceptable. As configurations differ across serials and modifications, validate this part against your aircraft's approved data before purchase.
The value of an OEM part is as much in its paperwork and pedigree as its metal — both of which an aircraft's records require. Cross-check the part number against your maintenance and parts documentation to confirm fit and current effectivity for your airframe.
Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger.
Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation. Using the factory part number preserves configuration control, so the airframe stays consistent with its approved type design and the work is straightforward to sign off at inspection.
Textron Aviation supports aircraft owners, operators, and MROs worldwide with genuine Cessna and Beechcraft parts from Wichita, Kansas.
