Description
The S3461-117 is a genuine Textron Aviation bolt mpi used to fasten, secure, or retain components during assembly of the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99, weighs 0.18 pounds, and measures 1.25 (L) x 0.6 (W) x 0.4 (H) Inches.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the S3461-117 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
Across the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
Aircraft hardware is called out to a specific specification for each location; an off-the-shelf equivalent is rarely acceptable. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front.
Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance.
Using the factory part number preserves configuration control, so the airframe stays consistent with its approved type design and the work is straightforward to sign off at inspection.
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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
