Pittsburgh-based PPG Aerospace has received an EASA supplemental type certificate (STC) for its replacement glass-faced acrylic windshields for the Beechjet 400 series light jets. The company received FAA parts manufacturer approval (PMA) for the windshield last year.

“We are pleased that we can now offer Beechjet 400 jet operators across Europe these new windshields, which are designed for ease of installation, exceptional resistance to moisture ingress, and enhanced optical properties,” said Steve Kight, the company’s global director for general aviation transparencies, adding that aircraft owners in North America and Europe can now purchase replacement parts directly from the manufacturer, saving time and related costs.
