Description
The S2473-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation coupler supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It fits the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the S2473-1 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
This is a cataloged factory part whose form, fit, and function are established by the manufacturer's approved data. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections.
Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide.
Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation.
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.
