Nick,
I am not trying to be confrontational and certainly would not want to be likened to an insect, as you seem to be doing with people who disagree with you over your Canadian contract. But if you have time to debate, then lets have a reasoned debate.
We both accept that whole aircraft testing is better than previous standards which only required certain areas to be tested. Do you agree that a 95th centile bird (1 kg) at Vh is a sufficiently high certification standard for the windscreen? From my practical experience, including birds penetrating my cockpit and having a colleague’s windscreen on a SA 330 Puma penetrated by a large bird which knocked both throttles out of the governed gate and partially moved a fuel shutoff lever, it could be questioned. I know that 1 kg is the standard in JAR/FAR 29, but do you have a personal view?
You criticised my maths in a previous post , as you are probably bettered educated than I am would you care to point out my errors so that I will not make the same mistakes again.
