Description
The CI420-10 is a genuine Textron Aviation xm antenna used by an aircraft system to sense or display a value. 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 CI420-10 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.
Ratings, tolerances, and interfaces are what define an electrical part; matching the specified item keeps the system working as certified. 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.
Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation.
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. 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.
