NUTPLATE

The S3431-1 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 applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99. Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the S3431-1 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. As a factory-supplied item for a type-certificated aircraft, this part is defined by the manufacturer's specification and applicability data. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. 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.
