Description
The MS246650-132 is a genuine Textron Aviation pin cotter used to fasten, secure, or retain components during assembly of the airframe. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99.
Strength grade and finish define aircraft hardware, so matching the specified part keeps the joint as designed. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for.
Check effectivity and supersession status for your serial number so you order the currently applicable part. 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.
Cross-check the part number against your maintenance and parts documentation to confirm fit and current effectivity for your airframe. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance.
An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
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.
