Description
The S272-5 is a genuine Textron Aviation ball window latch that operates a door, panel, or access point. It fits the Citation III, VI or VII, Skyhawk, Skylane, and Stationair. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.01 lbs, and measures 0.16 (L) x 0.16 (W) x 0.16 (H) in.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the S272-5 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.
Because the Cessna Citation, Skyhawk, Skylane, and Stationair aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Control and mechanism components transmit motion precisely, so correct geometry and fit are essential to proper rigging and system travel. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation.
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. Cessna's Citation line, launched with the Model 500 in the early 1970s, grew into the best-selling business-jet family in the world, spanning today from the light M2 to the super-midsize Longitude.
