SCREW

The MS24693A3 is a genuine Textron Aviation screw used to fasten, secure, or retain components during assembly of the airframe. It is fitted to the Citation CJ1 or CJ1+ and Citation Excel, XLS, XLS+, XLS Gen 2. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99. Because the MS24693A3 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. Across the Cessna Citation fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct. Strength grade and finish define aircraft hardware, so matching the specified part keeps the joint as designed. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. 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. 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. The Citation family is the best-selling line of business jets ever built, and more than 7,500 have been delivered worldwide.
