Description
The S3827-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation altimeter supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is fitted to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 7A994, weighs 0.91 lbs, and measures 5.4 (L) x 3.55 (W) x 3.4 (H) in.
Because the S3827-1 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.
Across the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
This is a cataloged factory part whose form, fit, and function are established by the manufacturer's approved data. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide.
Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated. Because aircraft parts are governed by strict airworthiness and traceability rules, fitting the OEM part rather than an unapproved equivalent keeps the installation eligible and the aircraft's records clean.
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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
