Description
The 0511826-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation left-hand upper back plate assembly — a factory assembly of several components supplied together as one serviceable unit. It is applicable to the Skyhawk.
Because the 0511826-3 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.
This is a cataloged factory part whose form, fit, and function are established by the manufacturer's approved data. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front.
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. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration.
Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
Built by Textron Aviation, whose Cessna line was founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and joined Textron in 1992, this part carries one of general aviation's most storied names. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
