Description
The W1283 is a genuine Textron Aviation gasket that seals a joint or opening against air, fluid, or contamination. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the W1283 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.
Material and dimensions make a seal work; the correct factory part is what keeps the joint from leaking in service. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance.
On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration.
For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for.
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.
