D. Limits of defects permissible in use

(1) Delamination
- Delamination is separation of interlayer from glass
- Delamination usually may occur along window edges
- Normal ageing phenomenon accelerated in case of moisture ingress.
- The structural integrity is not affected.

- Delamination is acceptable provided that vision is not seriously impaired and

the electric heating system is not affected (characteristics: See 1.D (2)).

- Acceptable limits of delamination: - Permitted in zone 2.

- Not permitted in zone 1.

(2) Bubbles
- The structural integrity is not affected.
- Bubbles usually may occur on the periphery in interlayers.
- Normal ageing phenomenon.
- Providing vision is not seriously impaired, the window may remain in
service.
Check heating system (characteristics : see 1.D. (2)).
- Acceptable limits of bubbles :
* Bubbles up to 5 mm (.2 in) in diameter shall be allowed without limit in
quantity.
* 3 bubbles up to 10 mm (.4 in) in diameter shall be allowed
- Non approved reflective sun-shields installed inside cockpit can caused

(3) Yellowing discoloration

- Yellowing or brown discoloration may occur around the periphery of the

window.
- Discoloration is regarded as a possible defect.
- Structural integrity is not affected by discoloration.
- The window may remain in service unless vision is seriously impaired or
electric system becomes inoperative.
- Acceptable limits of discoloration: - Permitted in zone 2.
- Not permitted in zone 1.

(4) Microflakes

In some conditions, moisture ingress can generate chemical reactions in

urethane interlayers that produce visible microflakes. Since moisture
penetration can only occur at window periphery, microflakes always
appear in this area.
Structural integrity of affected windows is fully maintained provided that
the degraded areas do not exceed those allowed for delamination.
Microflakes may have different appearances :
* Multiple criss-crossed lines (“Snake skin” appearance) = typical
microflakes (See figure 9a)
* “Single line” microflakes (See figure 9b)

- Acceptable limits of microflakes: - Permitted in zone 2.

- Not permitted in zone 1

(5) Burning (Applicable for P/N up to STA320-2-5-1C and 1-5-1C)

- Burning occurs when the heating element shows a hot spot where repeated high
temperatures make the interlayer turn brownish.
- Black or brown discoloration is regarded as a possible defect.
- Structural integrity is not affected by discoloration.
The window may remain in service unless vision is seriously impaired or
electric system becomes inoperative.

Note: In case of structural ply crack in flight operation, the window must be sent to
SG Sully for investigation and Airbus contacted.

(7) Scratches

(a) Outer ply

Scratches on outer-ply surface are structurally acceptable. Removal of

windshield not required.

(b) Structural component

STA320-2-5-1 and -1-5-1 windshields have an internal liner of self-healing

material that protects the inner ply from accidental scratches. Due to the
material properties, scratches and marks disappear in a limited period of time
depending on temperature and damage severity. In case of persistent
scratches, see 2.E (1)(b) page 21.

STA320-2-4-1 and -1-4-1 windshields have no liner. No scratches greater than

0.2 mm (0.008 in) in width or 0.02 mm (0.0008 in) in depth shall be allowed
whatever could be its length.

STA320-2-6-1, -1-6-1, STA320-2-7-1, -1-7-1, STA320-2-8-2, -1-8-2 and

STA320-2-9-3, -1-9-3
Solidion windshields have no liner. No scratches greater than 0.2 mm (0.008 in)
in width or 0.05 mm (0.002 in) in depth shall be allowed whatever could be its
length.

The use of the Surftest P/N : SJ-201-SPS or SGSSJ-210 is recommended to measure

the scratch depth.

(8) Electrical defects

(a) Heating film arcing

- Consult applicable aircraft MMEL and/or flight manual for action to be

taken.
- The structural integrity is not affected but the electrical system may be
inoperative.
- Continued arcing in windshield could result in outer-ply cracking. The
heating element resistance shall not exceed the value listed in paragraph 1.D
(2) page 7-8.
- If cumulated length of brown/black marks reaches or exceeds 200 mm along
each bus-bar, windshield replacement is recommended at first opportunity.

(b) Defect of sensing elements

- The failure of a sensing element will not necessarily entail the removal of
the transparency in so far as there is a second sensing element in reserve (Up
to P/N STA320-2-5-1, -1-5-1), or a third sensing element in reserve (from
P/N STA320-2-6-1, -1-6-1).

- In case of failure of the second (Up to P/N STA320-2-5-1, -1-5-1) or third

(from P/N STA320-2-6-1, -1-6-1) sensing element, the window should be
removed.

STA320-2-6-1, -1-6-1 windshields (from S/N 54001 to 54189 for L/H, from
S/N 4000 to 4170 for R/H) have a third sensor that can be connected through
an approved SAINT-GOBAIN SULLY repair station. (Re-figure 4a page 7,
and see 3.G.(5) page 25).

(9) Silicone seal erosion

Silicone seal is subject to wind and rain erosion. Silicone seal erosion occurs along the
FWD and bottom edges, the FWD top and lower corners of the windshields.

Typical erosion patterns are shown in Figure 12 below. (The Z bar may be partially visible).

The silicone seal erosion is not a criterion to remove the windshield from aircraft.

The windshield may remain in service.

polished with ALTUNET or MEGUAR’s n°17.
- Persistent scratches can be rubbed off with a soft pencil-eraser before
application of BOLIT 707 or MEGUIAR’s n°10. (For products, name and address
: See page 2,3 and 4).

2) Forbidden products

(b) On glass : Abrasive products, florhydric acid, methyl ethyl ketone

(c) On soft liner : Pure ethanol, pure methanol, acetone, abrasive materials.

F. Weather Seal repair

Weather seal is comprised of black polysulphide which is subject to erosion.

Inspect the weather seal every twelve months.

The weather seal should be repaired before it reached the minimum values indicated in the
below table.
The weather seal has to be repaired before the Z bar is exposed.
When needed, repair the weather seal as per “Repair procedure weather seal”.

G. Repairs

Windshields can be repaired as following only in SAINT-GOBAIN SULLY Repair Station,

in accordance with SAINT-GOBAIN SULLY Repair Process and its approved and
qualified repair stations. In all cases, prior to the repair, the glass structural/core plies are
carefully inspected : Any critical damage will entail the window rejection.

Lastly, any repaired windshield has to be submitted to a final pressure and “cold edge”
proof-test (these tests are performed before and after repair) before returning to service.
This is valid for all repairs listed below.

1) Polishing

Soiled surfaces can be restored to their original brightness by polishing the glass.

2) Surfacing

One or several scratches can be buffed out by surfacing the glass in such a manner
that no optical distortion, greater than tolerated in new windows, is created.

3) Seal repairs

Depending on the damage severity, the operation can be a major repair, up to a

complete remolding of the window, or simply limited to minor hand repairs.

4) Connector repair

Defective internal connections (welded or crimped), detached terminal blocks, as

well as damaged connectors can be repaired.

5) Third sensor connection

STA320-2-6-1 and STA320–1-6-1 windshields (from S/N 54001 to 54189 for L/H,
and from S/N 4000 to 4170 for R/H) contain a 3rd temperature sensor, which is a
provision for repair and is not connected. Should one or both of the available
sensors fail, the 3rd sensor can be connected as a spare. (See figure 4a page 7).

 ABBREVIATED COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL STA320-2-X-X
STA320-1-X-X

6) Face-ply + sensor replacement

A damaged outer-ply can be removed and replaced with a new one. This operation is
completed together with the replacement of the facing interlayer and the temperature
sensors it contains, and entails a complete silicone seal remolding.

3. REMOVAL PROCEDURE

As windows are repairable, utmost care must be taken during removal. Sharp metallic objects
should not be used to ply out window from aircraft frame.
Unrepairable damages to structure may occur. Wood or plastic wedges should be used if necessary
to ply out window from aircraft frame.

4. STORAGE

The glass must be stored in its original ATA packing, preferably in a dry and ventilated room :

- Position : Lying flat, stacking is allowed.
