Description
The 0512187-5 is a genuine Textron Aviation door post — a covering that encloses or provides access to part of the airframe. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.59 pounds, and measures 19.2 (L) x 8.95 (W) x 2.65 (H) Inches.
Because the 0512187-5 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.
Panels, doors, and covers enclose and provide access to the airframe, and the correct part preserves fit, sealing, and aerodynamic surface. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
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. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
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.
