![]() xxx cannot be used because the frames have been discarded and/or the windshield configuration has been changed. If the aircraft has been converted to either of the above hole-mounted one-piece windshields, the 271. Holes drilled in windshields for mounting purposes tend to start cracks. This conversion changes the angle or “rake” of the windshield by moving the base out farther on the cowl, giving the windshield a more aerodynamic shape, but also mounts using holes drilled through the windshield. has been manufacturing 1/4″ to 1/2″ windshields for these earlier aircraft that are known as “Speed Slope” windshields. ![]() However, for many years Beryl D’Shannon Aviation Specialties, Inc. Other one-piece standard configuration (not “Speed Slope”) conversion windshields for these aircraft are available only in 1/4″ thickness, and these discard the original windshield frames and are mounted with holes drilled through the windshield (the proper replacement for this conversion is P/N 998). LP Aero’s design for its STC windshield showcases the commitment and attention to detail for which we are known. Note for aircraft with an existing “Speed Slope” Windshield The LP Aero STC One Piece Windshields are milled on the inside edge to fit the frame, placing the extra thickness toward the inside of the aircraft where it is not obtrusive. This is a very good mounting system as no holes need to be drilled through the windshield itself for mounting. This allows the one-piece windshield to retain the Beechcraft-engineered superior mounting method. This STC Conversion modifies the existing windshield frames to form a one-piece frame to accommodate a new One-Piece Windshield. The windshields themselves fit in the channel of the frame, allowing them to “float” for expansion and contraction. The factory windshields are mounted in metal frames and factory replacement windshields are supplied with frames as assemblies. (PN’s Above Apply to All Aircraft Listed)įrom the factory, these early aircraft were equipped with a two-piece windshield- a right half and a left half with a metal structure in between.
