After earning an STC for its CoolView side cockpit windows on the Beechjet 400, 400A, and 400XP, Lee Aerospace (Booth N3419) is entering the final phases of FAA approval on Beechjet windscreens, completing its suite of Coolview products for the cockpit, the Wichita-based OEM announced at NBAA-BACE. “We recognized a pain point in the market and knew that we had the solution,” Lee Aerospace president Jim Lee said. “The interest in CoolView has been overwhelming.”

Lee described its CoolView backorders as strong, with 10 of them coming from aircraft management firm and charter operator Clemens Aviation, based at Stearman Field in Benton, Kansas, where it operates a fleet of 14 Beechjets.

Clemens’ order is pending approval of it opening a new facility at Jabara Airport (KAAO) in east Wichita in December, where it plans to base 10 Beechjets. “Our pilots definitely prefer the benefits of CoolView over clear when given the option,” Clemens said. “It provides a much more comfortable environment for them to work in. We are looking forward to outfitting the entire fleet with the CoolView technology.”
