WASHER

The S1358-2 is a genuine Textron Aviation washer — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe. It is fitted to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the S1358-2 is built to the aircraft maker's specification and cross-references the type design as documented in the maintenance data. Choosing the genuine part over an unapproved substitute preserves configuration control and simplifies inspection sign-offs. Across the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane 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. 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. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. 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. 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.
