Description
The RL6806-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation reading light that serves in the aircraft's lighting system. It is fitted to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the RL6806-1 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 Skyhawk and Skylane aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
Ratings, tolerances, and interfaces are what define an electrical part; matching the specified item keeps the system working as certified. The factory part is built to the manufacturer's material and dimensional specification, so it installs as designed without the surprises a generic equivalent can bring.
Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger. 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.
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. The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most-produced aircraft in history, with more than 44,000 built since 1956, and remains in production under Textron Aviation.
