TIP

The S2445-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation tip supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. Because the S2445-1 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. Supplied as a defined part in the manufacturer's catalog, its exact role is set by the aircraft's parts and maintenance data. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for. 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.
