THICK FILM FUEL LEVEL SENDER

The S3852-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation thick film fuel level sender supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. Because the S3852-1 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. Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. Supplied as a defined part in the manufacturer's catalog, its exact role is set by the aircraft's parts and maintenance data. 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. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation. Using the factory part number preserves configuration control, so the airframe stays consistent with its approved type design and the work is straightforward to sign off at inspection. 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. Request a quote for S3852-1 or browse more Cessna Skyhawk parts on Flying411.
