1 Factors to consider

Before purchasing any cleaning products for your aircraft’s windows, you must consider some factors that may influence your choice. These include the type of material your windows are made of, as different materials have different properties and require different products. For instance, acrylic windows are more susceptible to scratches and cracks than glass windows, and need special care and protection. Additionally, you should always check your aircraft’s manual or contact the manufacturer to find out what products they recommend or approve for your windows. Using the wrong products may damage your windows or void your warranty. Furthermore, environmental conditions such as the weather, humidity, altitude, and pollution level may affect how your windows respond to certain products. For example, some products may dry out or freeze faster in cold or dry climates, or leave streaks or stains in humid or polluted areas.

Strictly follow the Aircraft Maintenance Manual for the cleaning process and the material to be used, if for any reason the material specified in the AMM is not available get the production planning team to liaise with Engineering Technical Services to get an alternate material from the OEM. Once the alternate is provided let the ETS issue a document.

When cleaning aircraft windows, several factors come into play. First, consider the material of the windows, as different aircraft may have varying window compositions. Opt for non-abrasive cleaners to prevent scratches. Environmental factors matter too – choose products with low environmental impact. Additionally, ensure the cleaning solution complies with aviation regulations and doesn't compromise the structural integrity of the windows. Anti-static properties can help repel dust, enhancing visibility. Evaluate whether the cleaner leaves streaks, as clarity is paramount for pilots. Lastly, consider ease of application and removal to streamline the cleaning process, promoting efficiency for aviation maintenance teams.

The primary factor to consider for cleaning products is OEM approval. If the product is a mentioned in the approved manuals, you can go for it. If there are options, it's better to perform a techno-commercial evaluation before procuring a big batch for the fleet.

When choosing cleaning products for aircraft windows, several factors must be considered to ensure safety and effectiveness. Firstly, selecting products that are specifically designed for use on aircraft windows is essential to prevent damage to the window surfaces or aircraft materials. Look for products that are approved by aviation authorities or recommended by aircraft manufacturers. Additionally, opt for cleaning solutions that are non-abrasive and free from harsh chemicals to avoid any potential damage or streaking on the windows. It's also important to choose products that are compatible with the materials used in aircraft windows, such as acrylic or polycarbonate, to prevent any adverse reactions.

2 Types of products

When it comes to cleaning products for aircraft windows, there are three main categories: cleaners, polishers, and sealants. Cleaners remove dirt, dust, bugs, grease, and other contaminants from windows and come in liquid, spray, or wipe form. Additionally, some cleaners have anti-static or anti-fog properties. Polishers restore shine and clarity of windows and remove minor scratches and swirl marks. They usually come in paste, cream, or liquid form and contain abrasive or chemical agents. Some polishers also have protective or UV-resistant properties. Lastly, sealants create a thin layer of protection on windows and repel water, dirt, dust, and other elements. They typically come in liquid, spray, or wipe form with synthetic or natural ingredients that bond with the surface of your windows. Some sealants also have anti-icing or anti-microbial properties.

3 Best practices

When cleaning your aircraft’s windows, it is essential to use the right products, tools, and techniques. Read the labels and instructions of the products you use and make sure they are compatible with your windows and the environment. Avoid using abrasive or dirty tools such as paper towels, brushes, or sponges that may scratch or damage your windows. Use soft, clean, and lint-free cloths, pads, or applicators and apply gentle pressure and circular motions. Start from the top and work your way down, wiping off any excess product or residue. Clean your windows regularly but not too often to prevent buildup of dirt and contaminants, and to extend the life of your windows. Moreover, avoid cleaning your windows in direct sunlight, high temperature, or high wind as these may cause the products to evaporate, dry, or streak faster. Taking these precautions will ensure that your windows are clean, clear, and safe.
