X-Original-To: lml@lancaironline.net MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="part1_a8.1fe7eb00.2c461533_boundary" X-Mailer: 8.0 for Windows sub 6011 --part1_a8.1fe7eb00.2c461533_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The Lancair-IVP seems to be the only pressurized plane I can think of that doesn't have removable windows. Windows are a relatively frequent replacement item on pressurized aircraft. Has anyone figured out a way to make the windows replacable? Seems that would be a logical and practical modification/option for the factory to offer. Also... What about lowering the maximum PSID to say, 4 PSI? With as many window blow-outs that have occured with the IVP, a certified aircraft manufacturer would have long ago come out with an AD or service bulletin and/or mod to address this very critical aspect of high altitude pressurized flight.
