Bird strikes on light GA prop aircraft
"Roger (K8RI)" wrote Depends on the windshield. It could be one of the reasons for going to a one piece. The one piece, speed sloped (tm) windshield in the Bonanza is far stronger than the original two piece. Mine is 1/2" thick. I've bounced some pretty big birds off it. It's silent in torrential rain where the old plexiglass in the Cherokee 180 was deafening in heavy rain. Wow, I'll bet it is a lot quieter! I didn't know anyone made 1/2" thick windshields for these sized planes. I'll bet it is heavy, but in my opinion, worth every pound. -- Jim in NC
