Description
The S1981-7 is a genuine Textron Aviation knob that operates a door, panel, or access point. It is applicable to the Caravan or Grand Caravan EX, Skyhawk, Skylane, and Stationair. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the S1981-7 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 Caravan, Skyhawk, Skylane, and Stationair fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
As a factory-supplied item for a type-certificated aircraft, this part is defined by the manufacturer's specification and applicability data. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration.
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.
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. The Cessna Caravan is a single-engine PT6-powered utility turboprop in continuous production since 1984, valued for its rugged versatility in passenger, cargo, and float operations.
