STRIP FELT

The S1389-4 is a genuine Textron Aviation strip felt used for thermal or acoustic protection within the airframe. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99. As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the S1389-4 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. Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. Thermal and acoustic insulation is chosen for defined conditions; the specified part preserves the protection the design provides. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance. 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. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application. The Cessna name is among the most recognized in aviation — founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and part of Textron since 1992, today a cornerstone of Textron Aviation. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today. Request a quote for S1389-4, or browse more Cessna Skyhawk parts on Flying411.
