Unsafe Condition
Rupture of a cockpit sliding window and subsequent rapid decompression of the fuselage due to fracture of the window as a result of thermal stress created by overheating of the wires of the heating element in a localized area.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Inspect the left- and right-hand sliding side windows in the cockpit to identify the part number (P/N) of those windows. If PPG Industries windows with P/N NP175202-1 or NP175202-2 are installed, prior to further flight, either deactivate the sliding window defogging system, install thermo-sensitive indicators with daily inspections, or replace the window. Replacing the window terminates AD requirements.
