Default Removing original equipment

Oops, I think you may have just said the magic word. If there is a hole
drilled in the windshield for it I would not be willing to remove it and
plug the hole without an OK from my FSDO maintenance inspector. I don't
mind fooling around where I know the consequences, but losing a windshield
in flight isn't on my list of Good Things (tm) to do.

Just stop replacing the factory OAT and leave it....


I could do that, but I'd like to remove it because it sticks out of the
windshield, looks ugly, blocks my view, slows the plane down etc.

I guess that's why we have A&Ps. To me, just a pilot, it didn't seem
like a big deal to put a plug in to replace the OAT.

Or did the Executive have a two piece windshield with the OAT through the
center post? Didn't the single piece come out with the 201? Good
question... good reason for not just pulling it and plugging the hole.

I have a late model Executive so its much more like a 201. I have a one
piece windshield and the OAT goes through a rather unprofessional
looking hole drilled right into the plexiglass. I figured I would just
plug up the hole, but I've never been to an A&P class.
