Description
The STD-1045 is a genuine Textron Aviation gasket that seals a joint or opening against air, fluid, or contamination.
Material and dimensions make a seal work; the correct factory part is what keeps the joint from leaking in service. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide.
Verify the part number and any supersessions against the manufacturer's parts catalog for your model and serial before ordering. The value of an OEM part is as much in its paperwork and pedigree as its metal — both of which an aircraft's records require.
Applicability should always be confirmed against the aircraft's IPC and effectivity records prior to fitting the part. 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.
Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance.
Textron Aviation is one of the world's largest general-aviation manufacturers, backing the Cessna, Beechcraft, and Hawker fleets with genuine factory parts.
