Description
The 0512177-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation retainer used to fasten, secure, or retain components during assembly of the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.16 pounds, and measures 28.85 (L) x 3.3 (W) x 1.75 (H) Inches.
Because the 0512177-1 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.
Strength grade and finish define aircraft hardware, so matching the specified part keeps the joint as designed. 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.
OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger.
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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
