Description
The 071-1242-06 is a genuine Textron Aviation slaving supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is fitted to the Caravan or Grand Caravan EX, Skyhawk, and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 7A994.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 071-1242-06 is built to the aircraft maker's specification and cross-references the type design as documented in the maintenance data. Choosing the genuine part over an unapproved substitute preserves configuration control and simplifies inspection sign-offs.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Caravan, Skyhawk, and Skylane aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
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.
Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated. For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for.
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. Cessna's single-engine Caravan turboprop, in production since 1984, is one of the most widely used utility aircraft in the world.
