COTTER PIN

The MS24665-168 is a genuine Textron Aviation cotter pin used to fasten, secure, or retain components during assembly of the airframe. It fits the Citation CJ2 or CJ2+, Citation V, Ultra, Encore or Encore+, Citation X, and Citation X+. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99. Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the MS24665-168 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records. Across the Cessna Citation fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct. Aircraft hardware is called out to a specific specification for each location; an off-the-shelf equivalent is rarely acceptable. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for. 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.
