"As the old adage states,
a charter doesn't create revenue - if it's
sitting on the ground,"

As for Lee Aerospace, the company says it
has the unique advantage of not only being
a window manufacturer, but also a FAA/
EASA-certified repair station, with repair
technicians stationed across the United
States. "Over the last three decades, our
technicians have been trained to look for
repetitive issues so that they can relay that
information to our engineering department,"

said Piland. "Our engineers then evaluate
each issue to see if improvements can be
made to eliminate the maintenance and
replacement issues that are being seen in
the field."
This was the case for Lee Aerospace's
newly-designed cabin windows for the G150,
G200 and G280. "Our technicians identified
that the mounting clips were creating undo
stress to the edge of the window causing
delamination and sub-surface fractures,"
Piland explained. Working with the FAA,

the company's engineering team was able
to improve on the original design by reducing the side-load pressure causing the issues.
"This certification process has allowed
Lee Aerospace to now be able to offer these
windows in clear or our newest technology,
CoolView, CoolView is one of the most exciting products that Lee Aerospace has introduced to the market," Piland said. "We are
developing windows with an advanced thin
metallic barrier system that provides added
comfort with cooler cabin temperatures,
appearance and protection of your aircraft."

The most common challenge, Piland says,
involves someone attempting to repair a
damaged or scratched window on their
own. "This almost always ends in a phone
