Description
The S3038-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation fastener used to fasten, secure, or retain components during assembly of the airframe. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.01 pounds, and measures 0.65 (L) x 0.45 (W) x 0.45 (H) Inches.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the S3038-3 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 Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Strength grade and finish define aircraft hardware, so matching the specified part keeps the joint as designed. 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. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide.
Built by Textron Aviation, whose Cessna line was founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and joined Textron in 1992, this part carries one of general aviation's most storied names. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
