Engineered for Low-Altitude, All-Day Operations
If you fly an Air Tractor, you know low-altitude work often means intense sun exposure—overhead on the ramp, blinding in turns, and draining over long duty days. Jet Shades manage heat, glare, and UV exposure across the primary forward visibility areas, helping pilots maintain focus and endurance throughout the workday. Made from optical-quality materials, Jet Shades manage intense sun exposure so you can:
Stay Cooler During Peak Heat
Long hours on hot ramps and back-to-back spray runs create significant cockpit heat. Jet Shades can reduce temperatures by as much as 25°F, helping pilots stay focused and effective during demanding conditions.
Protect Your Eyes and Skin From Damaging UV
Low-altitude flying exposes pilots to constant sun from multiple angles. Jet Shades block nearly all UVA and UVB radiation to help reduce cumulative exposure over long days.
Maintain Clear Visibility in Every Turn
Jet Shades reduce harsh glare without distorting your view, preserving clear sightlines when banking, lining up spray passes, or monitoring terrain.
Reduce Fatigue Over Long Duty Cycles
By reducing glare and visual strain, Jet Shades minimize eye strain and physical fatigue during long days in bright, overhead sun. A less fatigued pilot is a safer pilot.
Jet Shades™ 8-Piece Turning & Windshield Package
for Air Tractor AT-502
The Jet Shades 8-Piece Turning & Windshield Package is designed for Air Tractor operators flying long days in changing light conditions.
By incorporating our Dual Windshield System, including both High-Visibility and High-Performance windshield panels, pilots can quickly adapt shading between runs as sun angles shift, maintaining clear visibility and consistent productivity from first load to last.
What’s Included:
- (3) High-Visibility Windshield Jet Shades
- (3) High-Performance Windshield Jet Shades
- (2) High-Visibility Turning Window Jet Shades*
- Patented Mounting System
(Choose gray or yellow to match the interior) - Deluxe Storage Bag
- Microfiber Cleaning Cloth
While Jet Shades are designed around the pilot’s experience, the benefits extend beyond the cockpit. By reducing glare, heat, and visual fatigue during long spray days, the 8-Piece Turning & Windshield Package supports consistent productivity, safer operations, and more predictable output, while also helping reduce fatigue-related risk and protect aircraft interiors and avionics from prolonged sun exposure during daily operations.
*NOTE: All Jet Shades provide 99.9% UVA/UVB protection and are engineered for optical clarity. In the 8-Piece Turning & Windshield Package, turning window shades use High-Visibility shading to preserve visibility where it matters most during flight.
Engineered Solar Protection, Optimized for Visibility and Productivity
Jet Shades are engineered to do more than simply darken the cockpit. They provide a complete solar management solution that allows pilots to control heat, glare, and UV exposure without sacrificing visual clarity, even as light conditions change throughout the day.
By combining optical-grade materials with precisely tuned shading levels, Jet Shades help pilots maintain clear sightlines and reduce visual fatigue—whether flying in low-angle morning sun, harsh midday glare, or late-afternoon conditions when contrast and visibility matter most.
Jet Shades deliver:
- 99.9% protection from harmful UVA and UVB radiation
- Up to 94% infrared heat reduction
- As much as 80% glare reduction
Together, this balanced approach to solar protection supports:
- Consistent visibility across changing sun angles
- Reduced eye strain over long duty cycles
- Sustained focus and productivity from first load to last
