Description
The MS21256-21 is a genuine Textron Aviation clip — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99.
Aircraft hardware is called out to a specific specification for each location; an off-the-shelf equivalent is rarely acceptable. 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.
Part numbers can supersede over time, so verify the current applicable number for your airframe's serial and configuration before installation. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide.
Because a single part number can be superseded or vary by effectivity, confirm applicability against your aircraft's Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) and serial-number effectivity before ordering. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger.
Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. 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.
