I've had a Cracked or shattered windscreen in a B200 and it was at FL260. Couldn't see out of the screen at all. Ended up landing from the Co pilot's side. (Single Pilot ops)
Followed the POH i.e 1. Altitude maintain 25,000 FT or less, if possible!
2. (a)Pressurisation Controller reset. Suggested pressure diff 2.0-4.6 (4.6 will supply 10,500 FT cabin at 25,000FT)
(b)Before Landing Depressurise cabin prior to touch down.
HH, you sitting on the manual??
The aircraft didn't depressurised even though it was the inner pane. I believe both panes have to fail for that to happen. O2 masks on for all but they weren't required. Bits of glass were breaking off and falling into my lap on approach.
Something else must have really gone bang or to have two panes go at once, thats a bad day!!!
