Description
The 1217046-6 is a genuine Textron Aviation bearing assembly — a low-friction pivot or rotational support in an assembly. It fits the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 1217046-6 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.
Across the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
A bearing or bushing sets how a shaft or pivot moves and wears; the right part keeps that motion as designed. Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated.
Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
Built by Textron Aviation, whose Cessna line was founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and joined Textron in 1992, this part carries one of general aviation's most storied names. 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.
