It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99, weighs 0.14 pounds, and measures 2.3 (L) x 0.9 (W) x 0.7 (H) Inches. Because the MS21153-8 is an original-equipment (OEM) part sourced directly from Textron Aviation, it matches the exact specification and placement called out in the aircraft's type design and maintenance data — assurance a generic substitute cannot offer. Across the Cessna Citation fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct. Because it carries motion through a system, the exact part preserves the geometry the design depends on. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide. The factory part is built to the manufacturer's material and dimensional specification, so it installs as designed without the surprises a generic equivalent can bring. 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. The Citation family is the best-selling line of business jets ever built, and more than 7,500 have been delivered worldwide.
