SHAFT TACH

The S2550-17 is a genuine Textron Aviation shaft tach supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99. Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the S2550-17 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records. Across the Cessna Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct. 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. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. 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. 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.
