WINDOWS- GENERAL
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.
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.
(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.
3. Cleaning Windows.
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.
(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.
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.
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.
(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

1. Description.
An optional sliding door may be installed on the right and left sides of the cabin. The sliding doors contain a
jettisonable window (escape hatch) which is released by actuating the release mechanism on the inside or outside
of the door below the window. The window itself is single-pane acrylic plastic attached to the jettisonable frame
by rivets or screws and washers on the external sliding door or attached to the jettisonable frame by screws on
plug type sliding door. The plug type sliding door jettisonable window also has an inner window attached to the
window reveal, which is removed with the reveal for cleaning purposes and removal of the exterior window. On
helicopters 0428 and subsequent, the external sliding door window is attached to the frame with screws and
washers. On some helicopters, optional removable windows may be installed on each side of the cabin in place
of the sliding door window. 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.
