SPRING

The MS24586-196 is a genuine Textron Aviation spring used to provide spring force in a mechanical assembly. It is applicable to the Citation Excel, XLS, XLS+, XLS Gen 2. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99. Because the MS24586-196 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. Because the Cessna Citation aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. Control and mechanism components transmit motion precisely, so correct geometry and fit are essential to proper rigging and system travel. Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation. 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 Citation line, launched with the Model 500 in the early 1970s, grew into the best-selling business-jet family in the world, spanning today from the light M2 to the super-midsize Longitude.
