Description
The 4596-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation light assembly that serves in the aircraft's lighting system. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Because the 4596-1 is an original-equipment (OEM) part sourced directly from Textron Aviation, it matches the exact specification and placement called out in the aircraft's type design and maintenance data — assurance a generic substitute cannot offer.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Ratings, tolerances, and interfaces are what define an electrical part; matching the specified item keeps the system working as certified. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration.
Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application.
On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front.
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.
