Aircraft windows have a life cycle from initial installation to end of life. During this cycle, windows can suffer damage such as pits, chips, scratches, crazing, and paint overspray.
AWS Technicians
AWS technicians inspect and evaluate the damage, providing a report that defines the damage and the suggested outcome, following the airframe OEM maintenance and structural repair manuals.
Inspections can be part of a mandatory phase inspection required by the Maintenance Manual or part of a pre-purchase inspection.
