Description
The MS21141U0808 is a genuine Textron Aviation fastener used to fasten, secure, or retain components during assembly of the airframe.
Aircraft hardware is called out to a specific specification for each location; an off-the-shelf equivalent is rarely acceptable. Because a single part number can be superseded or vary by effectivity, confirm applicability against your aircraft's Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) and serial-number effectivity before ordering.
Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. As configurations differ across serials and modifications, validate this part against your aircraft's approved data before purchase.
For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance.
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. 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.
Textron Aviation traces its roots to Cessna, founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927, and Beechcraft, founded there in 1932 — two of general aviation's most storied names, united under one company since 2014.
