Description
The 4000-11 is a genuine Textron Aviation ELT supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is fitted to the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN 7A994.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the 4000-11 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 and Skylane aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Supplied as a defined part in the manufacturer's catalog, its exact role is set by the aircraft's parts and maintenance data. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application.
An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
