SHAFT

The 0411778-5 is a genuine Textron Aviation shaft supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. Because the 0411778-5 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 fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct. Supplied as a defined part in the manufacturer's catalog, its exact role is set by the aircraft's parts and maintenance data. The factory part is built to the manufacturer's material and dimensional specification, so it installs as designed without the surprises a generic equivalent can bring. 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. 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. 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.
