Description
The S3429-2A is a genuine Textron Aviation nutplate supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is fitted to the Caravan or Grand Caravan EX, Skyhawk, Skylane, and Stationair. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99, weighs 0.01 lbs, and measures 0.97 (L) x 0.48 (W) x 0.11 (H) in.
Because the S3429-2A is an original-equipment (OEM) part sourced directly from Textron Aviation, it matches the exact specification and placement called out in the aircraft's type design and maintenance data — assurance a generic substitute cannot offer.
Because the Cessna Caravan, Skyhawk, Skylane, and Stationair aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
As a factory-supplied item for a type-certificated aircraft, this part is defined by the manufacturer's specification and applicability data. Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated.
OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration.
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. The Cessna Caravan is a single-engine PT6-powered utility turboprop in continuous production since 1984, valued for its rugged versatility in passenger, cargo, and float operations.
