BUSHING

The NAS72-6-012 is a genuine Textron Aviation bushing — a sleeve providing a bearing or protective surface at a pass-through or pivot. It is fitted to the Citation V, Ultra, Encore or Encore+. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99. Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the NAS72-6-012 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records. Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Citation aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common. Fit and load rating define a bearing's job, so matching the specified part protects both function and service life. Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value. The value of an OEM part is as much in its paperwork and pedigree as its metal — both of which an aircraft's records require. Cessna traces to the company Clyde Cessna founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927; Textron Inc. acquired it in 1992, and since 2014 it has anchored Textron Aviation alongside Beechcraft and Hawker. 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.
