15.7 Windows

  15.7.1 Divisions between windows located in the front, on the sides and in the doors shall be kept to a minimum. No division shall be installed immediately forward of the operating stations.

  15.7.2 Administrations shall be satisfied that a clear view through the operating compartment windows is provided at all times regardless of weather conditions. The means provided for maintaining the windows in a clear condition shall be so arranged that no reasonably probable single failure can result in a reduction of the cleared field of vision such as to interfere seriously with the ability of the operating crew to continue the operation and bring the craft to rest.

  15.7.3 Arrangements shall be provided so that the forward view from operating stations is not adversely affected by solar glare. Neither polarized nor tinted window glass shall be fitted.

  15.7.4 Operating compartment windows shall be angled to reduce unwanted reflection.

  15.7.5 The windows shall be made of material which will not break into dangerous fragments if fractured.
