Description
The S3430-2A is a genuine Textron Aviation nutplate supplied for use on the aircraft, with its precise function defined by the aircraft's parts data. It fits the Caravan or Grand Caravan EX, Skyhawk, Skylane, and Stationair. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99, weighs 0.01 lbs, and measures 1.09 (L) x 0.51 (W) x 0.10 (H) in.
As an original-equipment (OEM) part supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the S3430-2A 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 Caravan, Skyhawk, Skylane, and Stationair aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
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.
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 Caravan is a single-engine PT6-powered utility turboprop in continuous production since 1984, valued for its rugged versatility in passenger, cargo, and float operations.
