WINDOWS- GENERAL

1. General (Figure 1).

There are six windows installed in the flight compartment, six windows in the cabin area, and one window each
in the pilot and copilot doors. Flight compartment windows include the pilot and copilot windshield, electronic bay
access door windows on the left and right side, and chin windows below the windshield on the left and right side.
The pilot and copilot doors each have one window. The pilot and copilot door windows have a small vent window
which opens inboard. Cabin area windows include one window each in the left and right passenger doors or
sliding doors, and four fuselage-mounted windows, two on each side of the helicopter. The sliding doors have a
jettisonable window installed. All windows are single-pane acrylic plastic with the exception of glass and glass
laminate heated windshield. On some helicopters, optional removable windows may be installed on each side of
the cabin in the place of the sliding door window or hinged door window, the inter-door window and the aft
cabin windows. The removable windows do not have an inner window and the exterior window is attached to the
frame with a removable retaining strip. Pulling the pull tab at the lower forward corner to remove the retaining
strip and pushing these windows out provides for additional escape exits. The electrically heated windshield is
made of one outer ply of glass and one inner ply of glass, laminated together with an interlayer. An electrically
conductive coating is used on the inside of the outer glass ply, to provide heat. Also sandwiched between the
layers is a bus bar, a temperature control sensor, and an overtemperature control sensor. Electrical terminal
blocks are provided at the upper corners of each windshield panel for connection to system wiring.

WINDOWS - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1. General.

Great care must be taken in caring for acrylic windows, because they can scratch, craze, and become distorted,
which will affect their optical qualities. Therefore, recommended cleaning procedures must be strictly followed.
Distortion from heat can be prevented when the helicopter is parked in the sun by opening doors and the pilot’s
openable vent window, and allowing air to flow freely.

CAUTION: APPLY CLEANING AND POLISHING COMPOUND, P-P-560, TO ACRYLIC WINDSHIELD PANELS,
WHEN USE OF WINDSHIELD WIPERS IS ANTICIPATED.

NOTE: After cleaning windshield panels, apply Repcon, Rain Repellent and Surface Conditioner, manufactured
by Unelco Corporation, Chicago, Ill., when use of windshield wipers is anticipated.

2. Inspection/Check Windows.

A. Prepare for Water Test.

(1) Special Tools and Equipment.

(a) Garden hose and nozzle.

(b) Air Compressor (if fresh water is not abundantly available).

B. Test Procedure.

NOTE: Conduct flight and ground tests in actual rain when weather conditions permit. Simulation of ground
tests may be made, using a garden hose and nozzle. Each test shall last at least 20 minutes.

(1) Close doors and pilot’s openable vent window.

(2) Conduct spray tests.

(3) If fresh water is not abundantly available, mix fresh water with detergent, MIL-D-16791 or MIL-D-
26937, and apply to exterior surfaces. Apply compressed air internally and check for air bubbles at
suspected leakage areas.

(4) Repair leaks as necessary.

3. Cleaning Windows.

A. Prepare for Cleaning.

(1) Special Tools and Equipment.

(a) Air Compressor.

B. Cleaning (Exterior).

CAUTION: REMOVE RINGS OR ANY OTHER HARD OBJECTS FROM HANDS BEFORE WASHING OR
POLISHING TRANSPARENT PLASTIC SURFACES.

 S-76B
MAINTENANCE MANUAL, SA 4047-76B-2
(1) Remove loose dust and residue with compressed air, when available. Flush surface thoroughly with
clean water to soften dirt. Use bare hands to locate and dislodge dirt, sand, mud, or foreign particles.

(2) Wash with mild soap and water solution. Make certain water is free of dirt or other possible abrasives.
Use a soft cloth, sponge, or chamois for washing, but only as a means of carrying soapy water to
window. Go over surface with bare hands only so that dirt can be quickly detected and removed by
flushing before it scratches window surface. Clean acrylic windows with cleaning and polishing com-
pound, P-P-560.

NOTE: Do not use cleaning and polishing compound on glass windshields.

(3) After window is clean, rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a clean, damp chamois. Blot to dry. Do
not rub.

(4) Remove oil and grease residue from acrylic windows by hand application of cleaning and polishing
compound, P-P-560. As an alternate, CP Anti-Static Cleaner, Novus Anti-Static Plastic Cleaner No. 1 or
Prist Acrylic, Plastic and Glass Cleaner, may also be used.

WARNING: DO NOT USE GASOLINE, ALCOHOL, BENZENE, TOLUENE, HEXANE, KEROSENE

XYLENE, HEXTONES (INCLUDING ACETONE), CARBON TETRACHLORIDE, FIRE EXTIN-
GUISHER FLUID, DE-ICING FLUID, DOPE OR LACQUER THINNER, GLASS WINDOW
CLEANING SPRAYS, TRICHLOROETHYLENE, PAINT STRIPPING COMPOUNDS,
DEGREASING COMPOUNDS, AROMATIC NAPHTHA, OR OTHER MATERIALS THAT
CAN SOFTEN THE PLASTIC OR CAUSE CRAZING; DO NOT PERMIT THEIR FUMES TO
CONTACT WINDOWS. ALIPHATIC NAPHTHA, WHICH SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED
WITH AROMATIC NAPHTHA, MAY BE USED FOR CLEANING ONLY WHEN ABSO-
LUTELY NECESSARY. IT IS EXTREMELY INFLAMMABLE. TAKE PRECAUTIONS WHEN
USING IT, TO PREVENT FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS.

CAUTION: CLOTHS USED TO APPLY CLEANING AND POLISHING COMPOUND ON PLASTIC SUR-
FACES MUST BE SOFT AND CLEAN. CANTON FLANNEL, OUTING FLANNEL, AND
DIAPER CLOTH ARE SATISFACTORY. THEY SHOULD BE USED ONLY FOR WINDOWS
AND STORED IN CLOSED CONTAINERS OR IN PROTECTED ROLLS TO KEEP THEM
CLEAN AND GRIT-FREE.

(5) Do not rub window with dry cloth, since this is likely not only to cause scratches but build up an
electrostatic charge that will attract dust particles to the surface. If surface becomes charged, pat or
gently blot with a clean, damp chamois to remove charge as well as dust.

(6) If no water is available for cleaning purposes, use soft, clean cloth, bunched loosely in hand, and lightly
dust surface of window to remove loose dirt.

CAUTION: DO NOT TRY TO POLISH OR WAX ACRYLIC WINDOWS UNTIL SURFACE HAS BEEN
THOROUGHLY CLEANED. IF DIRT, GRIT, OR SAND ARE PRESENT DURING POLISHING
OR WAXING OPERATIONS, THEY MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO WINDOWS.

(7) If, after removing dirt and grease, no major scratches are visible, apply wax, MIL-W-18723. The wax
will fill in minor scratches and help prevent further scratching. Apply wax in thin, even coat with soft,
clean cloth. Bring to high polish by rubbing lightly with another clean, soft, dry cloth. Do not rub too long
in one area.

NOTE: Waxing the outer surface of transparent plastic windows often acts as a rain-repellent, enhanc-
ing visibility without the use of windshield wipers.

C. Cleaning (Interior).

CAUTION: REMOVE RINGS OR ANY OTHER HARD OBJECTS FROM HANDS BEFORE WASHING OR
POLISHING TRANSPARENT PLASTIC SURFACES.

NOTE: In cabin area, cleaning of inboard surface of outer window and outboard surface of inner window
is done after first removing window reveal assembly.

(1) Dust surface of plastic windows lightly with a clean, soft cloth, saturated with clean water or isopropyl
alcohol, Fed. Spec TT-I-735A.

(2) Wipe carefully with soft, damp cloth, sponge or chamois. Keep cloth, sponge, or chamois free of grit by
rinsing frequently in clean water.

(3) Clean entire surface with cleaning and polishing compound, P-P-560. As an alternate, CP Anti-Static
Cleaner, Novus Anti-Static Plastic Cleaner No. 1 or Prist Acrylic, Plastic and Glass Cleaner, may also be
used.

4. Scratch Removal Windows.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE THESE SCRATCH REMOVAL PROCEDURES ON HEATED GLASS WINDSHIELD.

A. General.Plastic windows and windshields with scratches should not be replaced if the scratches do not
interfere with vision. This is not to be mistaken with crazing. Crazing is the presence of fine cracks which may
extend in a network over or under the surface or through a plastic. These fine cracks are often difficult to
detect because they run perpendicular to the surface, are very narrow in width, and usually are not over
0.001 inch deep. They can be seen by reflecting light from their surfaces, and they appear as bright lines
when the specimen is viewed at varying angles to the source of light. In contrast, scratches are caused by
physical abuse of the surface of the plastic and generally are detectable by the naked eye. Plastic windows
can be reworked to remove scratches, but crazing cannot be reworked. There are three types of scratches
that can be reworked: 1. Hairline scratches are very light scratches or hazing, usually caused by improper
cleaning procedures. 2. Minor scratches, that can be detected with a fingernail. 3. Deep scratches, which are
easily felt with the fingertip.

B. Remove Scratches.

NOTE: Hairline scratches can be removed by starting at step (6) of the scratch removal procedures. To
eliminate minor scratches, start with step (4) . Deep scratches can be removed by using the entire
procedure.

NOTE: Scratches, nicks, and dents may be repaired by sanding, if the removal of plastic material in this
operation is limited to 10% of the original thickness of the plastic material. Rework causing removal
of more than 10% is cause for replacement.

(1) Clean surface to be repaired thoroughly with a solution of mild soap and water or a solution of equal
parts of isopropyl alcohol, Fed. Spec TT-I-735A and water, and rinse thoroughly.

NOTE: All scratch removal should be done with surfaces wet with water.

(2) Using No. 1500 Polysand, or equivalent, around a foam block, rub scratched area until original
damage has been removed. Work an area considerably larger than the damaged portion to blend in
with the surrounding surface. Clean surface thoroughly before continuing. (Refer to step (1).)

 S-76B
MAINTENANCE MANUAL, SA 4047-76B-2
NOTE: Do not use too much hand pressure during scratch removal. This could overheat the surface
and cause local distortion or crazing.

(3) Using No. 1800 Polysand, or equivalent, around a foam block, rub an area slightly larger than in step
(2). Work each square foot of area for about 3 minutes. Clean surface thoroughly before continuing.
(Refer to step (1).)

(4) Using No. 2400 Polysand, or equivalent, around a foam block, rub an area slightly larger than in step
(3). Work each square foot of area for about 3 minutes and alternate horizontal and vertical strokes
every 20 seconds. If this is the first step being done, continue until original damage has been removed.
Clean surface thoroughly before continuing. (Refer to step (1).)

(5) Using No. 3200 Polysand, or equivalent, around a foam block, rub an area slightly larger than in step
(4). Work each square foot area for about 2 minutes and alternate horizontal and vertical strokes every
20 seconds. Clean surface thoroughly before continuing. (Refer to step (1).)

(6) Using No. 3600 Polysand, or equivalent, around a foam block, rub an area slightly larger than in step
(5). Work each square foot area for about 2 minutes and alternate horizontal and vertical strokes every
20 seconds. If this is the first step being done, continue until original damage has been removed. Clean
surface thoroughly before continuing. (Refer to step (1).)

(7) Using No. 4000 Polysand, or equivalent, around a foam block, rub an area slightly larger than in step
(6). Work each square foot area for about 2 minutes and alternate horizontal and vertical strokes every
20 seconds. Clean surface thoroughly before continuing. (Refer to step (1).)

(8) Using No. 6000 Polysand, or equivalent, around a foam block, rub an area slightly larger than in step
(7). Work each square foot area for about 1-1/2 minutes and alternate horizontal and vertical strokes
every 15 seconds. Clean surface thoroughly before continuing. (Refer to step (1).)

(9) Using No. 8000 Polysand, or equivalent, around a foam block, rub an area slightly larger than in step
(8). Work each square foot area for about 1-1/2 minutes and alternate horizontal and vertical strokes
every 15 seconds. Use a very light rubbing pressure on this step. Clean surface thoroughly before
continuing. (Refer to step (1).)

(10) If, after cleaning surface, no major scratches are visible, apply wax, MIL-W-18723, with fingertips,
using a circular motion. Bring to high polish by buffing lightly with a clean, dry, flannel cloth or cotton
batting.

(11) When high polish is reached, inspect surface visually for imperfections. If any damage is visible, repeat
those steps necessary to correct.

5. Ice Protection/Removal Windows.

A. Apply Ice Protection.

(1) When temperatures below 0°C (32°F) are expected, apply anti-icing and deicing-defrosting fluid,
MIL-A-8243, to windows, to lessen buildup of frost.

B. Ice Removal.

CAUTION: DO NOT SCRAPE ICE FROM WINDOWS. THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO
TRANSPARENT PLASTIC SURFACE.

FLIGHT COMPARTMENT WINDSHIELDS AND WINDOWS - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1. Removal/Installation Fixed Windows.

A. Remove Fixed Windows (Figure 201).

(1) If removing heated windshield, turn off all electrical power and disconnect electrical wiring from termi-
nal block at upper corners of each windshield panel.

NOTE: Record screw length and position on removal for ease of installation.

(2) Remove screws, washers, and nuts securing window or windshield to frame.

NOTE: In some areas of the pilot’s and copilot’s windshield frame, not easily maintained, rivnuts are
installed and washers and nuts are not used.

(3) Remove window or windshield from frame.

B. Prepare for Installation.

(1) Special Tools and Equipment.

(a) Nonmetallic Scraper.

(b) Sealant Extrusion Gun

(c) Nozzle, Suitable

C. Install Fixed Windows (Figure 201).

(1) Clean frame thoroughly using nonmetallic scraper and acetone, ASTM D329, and wipe dry with a
clean, low-lint cloth.

(2) Apply pressure sensitive foam tape, No. 572, Uniseal Inc. or 4416, 3M Company, to frame, with
adhesive surface against frame. Make holes in tape for screws using suitable hole punch or pin.

(3) Position window or windshield, with protective paper on both sides, in installed position on frame.

NOTE: For windshields, the use of 4 or 5 tapered guide pins at each corner of the windshield, can be
used to install windshields with curvatures different from that of the airframe. Use pins as a drift
through windshield attachment holes and frame holes to pull windshield into position from
corner to corner. Pins can be made from either 3/16 inch steel rod or AN3 bolts tapered to
point.

(4) If necessary, using marker that will not scratch window/windshield, mark window/windshield from
inside helicopter, using frame as a guide. Remove protective paper to line on both sides, leaving a
protective mask to protect surface, and pick up extra sealing compound.

NOTE: If protective paper has been removed, masking tape may be used for this purpose.

(5) When installing windshield, check clearance between windshield and canopy frame. (Refer to
Inspection/Check.)

MAINTENANCE MANUAL, SA 4047-76B-2

(6) Remove window/windshield and coat exposed surface of pressure sensitive foam tape with sealing
compound, AMS 3265, Class B, to about 0.003-inch thickness.

NOTE: Due to differences in the thickness of composite materials and window frame tolerances, use of
screw part numbers SS5013-10-24 thru SS5013-10-29 are acceptable to be used for instal-
lation.

(7) Install window/windshield and secure with screws (as noted on removal), washers, and nuts.
Handtighten all screws until contact is made between seal and window/windshield. For windshields
torque screws in sequence shown in Detail C. Torque screws to 2 - 3 inch-pounds (but not over 5
inch-pounds) above nut/nutplate locking friction.

NOTE: Normal curvature or shape of windshield may not be the same as airframe curvature. If
necessary, install windshield using guide pins per note under step (3).

NOTE: In some areas of the pilot and copilot windshield frame, not easily maintained, rivnuts are
installed and washers and nuts are not used.

CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW ACETONE TO TOUCH WINDOW, AS IT WILL DAMAGE SURFACE.

(8) Before sealing compound cures, remove extra sealing compound from surrounding area using acetone,
ASTM D329, nonmetallic scraper, and a clean, low-lint cloth.

NOTE: Remove excess sealing compound from edge of window with nonmetallic scraper, after sealing
compound has cured.

(9) When installing heated windshields, turn off all electrical power and connect electrical wiring to terminal
blocks at upper corners of each windshield panel. (Refer to S-76 WIRING MANUAL, SA4047-76B-3.)

(10) Remove protective paper and clean windows as necessary. (Refer to Cleaning Windows, 56-00-00.)

2. Inspection/Check Windshields.

A. Inspect Windshield Clearance (Figure 202).

(1) Install windshield in canopy frame. Apply hand pressure to center of windshield to seat windshield.
Install enough screws to hold windshield firmly in place.

(2) Inspect installed windshield to make sure windshield inner surface is not interfering with canopy inter-
faces. Check for at least 0.025-inch clearance.

(3) If clearance is acceptable, install windshield per paragraph 1.C.

(4) If clearance is less than specified, remove windshield and rework canopy frame per step (5).

CAUTION: WHEN REWORKING SIDE PORT AREA, TRIM DOOR JAMB ONLY. DO NOT CUT OR
REWORK CANOPY POST.

NOTE: Rework canopy frame using hand or rotary file.

(5) Trim canopy upper flange, lower flange, center post, and side post as required to dimensions shown on
Figure 202. Trim dimensions are measured from center of attachment holes.
