DETECTOR

The 1221201-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation detector supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It fits the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.01 pounds, and measures 3.2 (L) x 1.15 (W) x 0.3 (H) Inches. As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 1221201-3 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 Skyhawk and Skylane aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common. As a factory-supplied item for a type-certificated aircraft, this part is defined by the manufacturer's specification and applicability data. 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. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. 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.
