Both original Jet Shades and Generation 2 Professional Series Jet Shades have a coating system that is applied to the surface of each Jet Shade that faces outward. For that reason, Jet Shades have both left and right orientations in the cockpit windows. To ensure the integrity of your Jet Shades it is imperative that they be cleaned properly and carefully to avoid damage. For light cleaning, simply wipe with a clean, microfiber towel. To remove heavier buildup, use approximately 1 tablespoon of baby shampoo per a half gallon of water and dampen the microfiber towel with the cleaning solution. Never soak or place the Jet Shades under running water.
Both original Jet Shades and Generation Two Professional Series Jet Shades were designed using technology estimated to provide 5 years of service when used and maintained in accordance with our instructions. Jet Shades come with a two-year warranty.
Generation Two Jet Shades: While the Gen 2 Jet Shades are flexible and will bend without breaking or shattering, they can still be creased if folded or rolled up. Therefore Gen 2 Jet Shades should not be folded or rolled up into a circle smaller than 12” in diameter.
Original Jet Shades: While the Jet Shades are somewhat flexible and will bend without breaking or shattering, they can still be damaged from overbending. Jet Shades should not be flexed more than necessary to install and fit your aircraft's windows. Flexing or bending past 30 degrees, not removing them in heat conditions, and exposure to high humidity, all reduce the life of the product. We recommend you follow the instructions sheet provided for conditions requiring removal as well as storage to prolong the life of your Jet Shades.
No, Jet Shades cannot be used at the same time as foil guards. Foil guards are not needed when Jet Shades are installed and can scratch the Jet Shades when inserting and removing them.
When flying at night you should remove the shades and place them in the polybag provided and stow them behind the pilot seat or in the cabin for quick access. The main use of the storage case is when the plane goes into maintenance. We have had damage to Jet Shades reported as technicians did not know how to handle them properly. Therefore we strongly recommend you remove your Jet Shades and place them in the storage case when you bring your aircraft in for maintenance.
In most cases, no. The new mounting system clips support the Generation 2 Jet Shades, and they do not rely on a friction fit as our original Jet Shades did. If you see a bend or wrinkle when installing Generation 2 Jet Shades, it is because somewhere around the edge, the Gen 2 Shade is too tight to the window trim. In these cases, the owner can remove the shade, pull back the rubber trim, and slightly trim it with a pair of sharp scissors. Then reinsert the shade to test fit again. Optionally, you can have a dealer install your Jet Shades.
The idea for Jet Shades was born in 2017 when a private pilot/engineer who constantly struggled with hot, uncomfortable flights finally had enough. He wanted to enjoy flying without having to resort to temporary or unsightly hacks to block the heat and glare. Utilizing his engineering background, he tested various materials and installation methods that could be FAA approved and ultimately resulted in the creation of a virtually unbreakable, eye-catching window panel that blocks UV, heat, glare and solar energy while providing maximum visibility for pilots. Jet Shades are available for cockpit and cabin windows in a growing number of aircraft types — including propeller, turboprop, jets, airliners and helicopters.
