The flight compartment windows are designed to help the crew have maximum visibility for distance and to transmit light in all environmental conditions.

The windows are resistant to ambient pressure conditions. These conditions relate to a range of altitudes from 1,000 feet below sea level to 51,000 feet above sea level. The windows have pressure seals to keep cabin pressurization and they also have moisture seals to give protection to the crew compartment and the cabin from weather elements. The moisture seal also protects internal components in the transparent plies.

The left and right side windshields and windows in the flight compartment provide the crew with sufficient forward and side vision. These windows have an anti-ice, defog and demist systems. The flight compartment includes the windows that follow:

• Two windshields
• Two side windows

On Global Express/XRS, there are 13 passenger compartment windows on each side of the fuselage. As an option, one and/or two windows can be installed at the right side of the fuselage and on Global 5000, there are 11 passenger compartment windows installed on the left side of the fuselage, and 12 passenger compartment windows installed on the right side of the fuselage. The passenger compartment windows are equal in dimension, shape and material. These windows make it possible for the passengers to see out of the passenger compartment.

Note:
The most important factors for correct installation of the windows are; the correct torque value and sequence of tightening the fasteners, and to prevent scratches during assembly, you must install the protective film.
