CABLE: AIR,ALTERNATE (P/N 554-181) - New Surplus

The 554-181 is a push-pull control cable assembly for aircraft alternate air induction systems. This cable mechanically links the cockpit control to the alternate air door valve on piston engines, allowing pilots to open the alternate air intake when the primary induction filter becomes restricted. The cable routes from the flight deck to the engine air box, maintaining engine operation during high-altitude flight or filter blockage conditions.

Installation follows the aircraft maintenance manual and FAA AC 43.13-1B rigging standards, with compatibility verified against the aircraft's illustrated parts catalog.
