Description
The 0713642-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation retainer assembly — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe. It is fitted to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 0713642-1 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.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Fastening and retaining hardware may look simple, but grade, size, and finish are specified for the joint each secures — the correct part matters. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation.
Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value. Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections.
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.
