14.2 View from Control Position

  14.2.1 The Administration should be satisfied that the view from the control position is adequate for the safe operation of the craft in all operating conditions.

  14.2.2 On craft with an enclosed operating compartment, it should be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Administration that an adequate portion of the windscreen and windows serving the operating station can be maintained in a clear condition during operation in conditions of spray or precipitation. The cleared portion of the windscreen and windows should be adequate for the field of vision necessary for normal operations, approach to and coming to rest at all operating speeds. On craft intended for operation in icing conditions, this requirement should be met in icing conditions up to the severity in which the craft as a whole has been shown to be satisfactory.

  14.2.3 The means provided for maintaining the windscreen and windows in a clear condition should be so arranged that no reasonably probable single failure can result in a reduction of the cleared field of vision such as to interfere seriously with the ability of the operating crew to continue the operation and bring the craft to rest.
