Description
The 0512100-7 is a genuine Textron Aviation skin that forms the contoured metal covering over the airframe structure. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.91 pounds, and measures 19.5 (L) x 18.7 (W) x 6 (H) Inches.
Because the 0512100-7 is an original-equipment (OEM) structural component from Textron Aviation, it is built to the airframe manufacturer's specification and matches the type design as documented. Fitting the genuine part preserves the wing or airframe's engineered strength and keeps installation and inspection records clean.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
Airframe structure of this kind is engineered to specific load paths; the correct part is what keeps those paths — and the aircraft's certified strength — unchanged. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration.
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.
Cessna traces to the company Clyde Cessna founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927; Textron Inc. acquired it in 1992, and since 2014 it has anchored Textron Aviation alongside Beechcraft and Hawker. 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.
