Description
The S338-7 is a genuine Textron Aviation fairlead supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It is applicable to the Citation CJ4, CJ4 Gen 2, CJ4 Gen 3 and Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the S338-7 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.
Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Citation and Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common.
Supplied as a defined part in the manufacturer's catalog, its exact role is set by the aircraft's parts and maintenance data. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated.
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. Cessna's Citation line, launched with the Model 500 in the early 1970s, grew into the best-selling business-jet family in the world, spanning today from the light M2 to the super-midsize Longitude.
