CLAMP

The S1486DG4U is a genuine Textron Aviation clamp — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99. Because the S1486DG4U 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. Aircraft hardware is called out to a specific specification for each location; an off-the-shelf equivalent is rarely acceptable. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation. 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.
