Description
The MS24678-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation screw — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe. It is fitted to the Citation Sovereign or Sovereign+. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99, weighs 0.01 pounds, and measures 0.63 (L) x 0.22 (W) x 0.22 (H) Inches.
Because the MS24678-3 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.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Citation aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
Fastening and retaining hardware may look simple, but grade, size, and finish are specified for the joint each secures — the correct part matters. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
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.
Built by Textron Aviation, whose Cessna line was founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and joined Textron in 1992, this part carries one of general aviation's most storied names. 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.
