Required Actions
Perform a detailed visual inspection for cracks, delamination, or discoloration of the bus bar of aft fixed windows. If cracks or delamination are found, replace the window before further flight. If discoloration under 10mm is found, deactivate heating and inspect again within 7 days. For discoloration 10mm or more, deactivate heating and inspect daily until replacement if cracks/delamination occur.
