Description
The S1997-6-10 is a genuine Textron Aviation bearing that supports rotational or pivoting motion within a mechanism. It fits the Caravan or Grand Caravan EX, Skyhawk, and Stationair. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99.
Because the S1997-6-10 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.
Across the Cessna Caravan, Skyhawk, and Stationair fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
A bearing or bushing sets how a shaft or pivot moves and wears; the right part keeps that motion as designed. Because aircraft parts are governed by strict airworthiness and traceability rules, fitting the OEM part rather than an unapproved equivalent keeps the installation eligible and the aircraft's records clean.
Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
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. Cessna's single-engine Caravan turboprop, in production since 1984, is one of the most widely used utility aircraft in the world.
