Description
The S3100-160 is a genuine Textron Aviation panel audi that encloses, provides access to, or streamlines part of the airframe. It is applicable to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 7A994.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the S3100-160 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Panels, doors, and covers enclose and provide access to the airframe, and the correct part preserves fit, sealing, and aerodynamic surface. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections.
For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance.
Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
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.
