YOUR PRE-FLIGHT BRIEFING

Good questions.
Clear answers.

The details, before you take off.

What comes with my order?

Each shade comes with a protective case. Every order also includes one complimentary cleaning tool, regardless of how many shades you choose.

How big is the sunshade?

Each shade measures 11 × 7.5 inches. Choose a single shade for a targeted area or a bundle for more flexible coverage.

Does it need glue or permanent installation?

No. The shade uses static adhesion and is designed to be removed and repositioned. There is no permanent mounting hardware.

How do I keep it working well?

Keep the window and the shade's contact surface clean. If dust reduces adhesion, use the included cleaning tool and follow the supplied care instructions.

Which kit should I choose?

Starter includes one shade. Duo Pilot includes two; Full Cockpit includes four; Pilots + Passengers includes six. Choose based on your window dimensions and the areas you want to shade. Bundles do not guarantee complete coverage of any aircraft.

Is it suitable for my aircraft?

Check the 11 × 7.5-inch dimensions against your intended placement and confirm surface compatibility. Follow your aircraft's operating guidance and keep required visibility, controls and instruments unobstructed.

How does US shipping work?

I flew from the Florida Keys to Ohio which gave me the time to use the shades

I flew from the Florida Keys to Ohio which gave me the time to use the shades. I think they have solved the heat issue in the cock pit. My iPad and Garmin 760 preformed perfectly without over heating. Good product to carry on long flights.

Worth keeping in the cockpit

Small, easy to store and convenient when the sunlight becomes distracting. I like having another option for those bright summer afternoons.

D

★★★★★

A little thing that makes a difference

I like that I can move the shade around instead of being stuck with one position.

W

★★★★★

Great for longer flights

I regularly take my 182 on three to four hour trips. Having the option to block the sun coming in from the side makes those afternoon flights a lot more comfortable.

M

★★★★★

Works nicely in my Mooney.

I like being able to take it off when I don't need it instead of having something permanently mounted in the cockpit.
