SWITCH

The V7-1C17E9-201 is a genuine Textron Aviation switch used to make or break an electrical circuit. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 3A991, weighs 0.02 lbs, and measures 1.55 (L) x 0.9 (W) x 0.45 (H) in. Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the V7-1C17E9-201 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records. Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common. In an aircraft's electrical system, using the correct component preserves the circuit's designed behavior, reliability, and safety. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. 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. 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 172 Skyhawk is the most-produced aircraft in history, with more than 44,000 built since 1956, and remains in production under Textron Aviation.
