SWITCH

The S1906-2 is a genuine Textron Aviation switch that controls an electrical circuit aboard the aircraft. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 3A991. Because the S1906-2 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. Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. Ratings, tolerances, and interfaces are what define an electrical part; matching the specified item keeps the system working as certified. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger. 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 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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
