While the Diamond DA40/42 provide spectacular visibility and great views while flying, Pilots and passengers often wrestle with hot cockpits, bright sun, instruments glare, UV radiation, and just being uncomfortable with the sun shining beaming through the large canopy. The results? Flights in your Diamond aircraft are less enjoyable, and more fatiguing, and just not as much fun as they could be. Finally, a pilot/engineer has done something about it.
Easy 1-2-3 Install, Instant Protection
Installation is quick and easy (no STC required) without the use of tools, and easily removable during flight if needed.
- Simply push Jet Shades in place into the sides of your canopy and secure to your upper sun shade (the solid plastic dome at the top of the canopy).
- Attach the center windshield Jet Shade to the center of the canopy and place on top of the side canopy Jet Shades.
- Flying with passengers in your Diamond DA40/42? Simply install Jet Shades into the passenger windows to reduce heat and sun from entering your aircraft – keeping your aircraft cooler and more comfortable for all on board.
