0713671-15 - ​Textron Aviation Cessna OEM Angle Assembly for Skyhawk Aircraft

0713671-15 – Textron Aviation Cessna OEM Nose Gear Tunnel Attach Angle

Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.

Overview

The Textron Aviation 0713671-15 is a genuine OEM, flight-critical structural component, specifically the Nose Gear Tunnel Attach Angle for the Cessna 182/T182 Skylane (model years 1997 and newer). This is not a simple bracket; it is a primary structural element that serves as a key load-bearing interface between the nose gear assembly and the airframe's fuselage.

This precision-formed angle is engineered to transfer the immense loads—including landing impacts, ground handling stresses, and vibrational forces—from the nose gear structure into the reinforced nose gear tunnel and firewall. Manufactured from high-strength, aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, its structural integrity is absolutely paramount to the safety and airworthiness of the aircraft. A failure of this component would be catastrophic, leading to a collapse of the nose gear.

Key Features

• Genuine Textron Aviation OEM Part: The only part certified and manufactured to the exact material specifications, heat treatment, and dimensional tolerances required for this primary structural application.

• Flight-Critical Structural Component: Serves as a primary load path, transferring all nose gear operational loads into the airframe.

• High-Strength Aluminum Construction: Fabricated from a high-strength aluminum alloy (such as 2024-T3 or 7075-T6) for maximum strength and fatigue resistance.

• Precision Formed & Machined: Engineered to exact factory tolerances to ensure a perfect fit with the fuselage structure and nose gear assembly, ensuring proper load distribution.

• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Treated with a chemical conversion coating (Alodine) and/or primer to protect against corrosion and environmental degradation.

• Airframe Structural Repair: The certified component for replacing a damaged, cracked, or corroded original angle during a major repair or overhaul.

Why Choose 0713671-15?

The nose gear attach angle is a "no-fail" component. A failure here constitutes a gear collapse and a major airframe emergency. The genuine Textron 0713671-15 is the only part guaranteed to be manufactured from the correct, certified alloy, with the proper heat treatment and dimensional accuracy required to safely carry the extreme and repetitive loads of the nose gear. Using a non-certified or "will-fit" part introduces an unacceptable risk of material failure, which could lead to a catastrophic incident on the ground or during landing. For the safety and structural integrity of your aircraft, there is no substitute for this genuine OEM part.

The engineering significance of the 0713671-15 attach angle is its role in load path management. As a primary structural fitting, it is designed to transfer complex loads from the nose gear—including vertical impacts, side loads from turning, and fore-aft drag loads—into the fuselage structure. Its "angle" shape is not arbitrary; it is a precision-formed component that acts as a gusset, stiffening the joint and distributing these concentrated forces over a wider area of the fuselage skin, stringers, and firewall. This prevents the high-impact loads of a hard landing from being concentrated on a single point, which could otherwise lead to skin delamination or structural failure of the airframe.

Note: The 0713671-15 is a primary structural component. Installation must be performed by a certified A&P/IA mechanic with structural experience, in strict accordance with the Textron Aviation maintenance and structural repair manuals. This part is not a simple "bolt-on" and will require the precise drilling and installation of structural rivets.
