Broad statistics or the incidence and cost of windscreen panel failures are given. The implications of these statistics are discussed with particular regard to the inability to predict with any degree of certainty the time between installation and failure. Failures occur not only at random points in a time scale but also at any point on the airline's routes. If improvement in reliability is not economically attainable then compensation must be gained in ease and speed of replacement. The designer must make a realistic assessment of achievable reliability. The result of this assessment in dictating the need for ease of replacement may well be the controlling factor in the installation design.
