I'm surprised no one has mentioned the "paperwork" associated with removal
of window.. it's great that everyone always mentions opening the window once
in flight...

For "removal" of the window and then flying sans window.. would that not
require a Form337 and approval?

To open the window once flying is not a problem.. just remember to hang on
until it stabilizes in the slip stream.. and if it's a bumpy day.. it could
slam down on your arm.. healthy slipstream also at 80-100mph

I once had a passenger in a C-172, feeling a bit warm in the bumps decided
he needed air to alleviate his queasiness.. and with no warning he unlatched
the window.. the resultant BANG.. got my attention.. power to idle.. my
first thought was a prop failure or a bird strike..

1 second later I realize his window is open.. after collecting my
thoughts... I gently reach over and closed it.. (it had stopped on the
window limit braces and not slammed up against the bottom of the wing) and
the showed him the wing root fresh air vents and put it full force on him.

Hi all... wondering if there is anyone out there that could suggest the
best way to remove the passenger window to take photos...

I know about unscrewing the retainer from the window... but just wanted to
know if there are any points to watch out for .. best speed etc...

The plane is not mine..and the flight school wouldn't be too thrilled if

a)I told them what I was planning to do
b) came back with a broken or REALLY scratched side window

Thanks to all,
