Plane Tint Panels
When youâre trying to focus on the instruments and your situational awareness mid-flight, disruptive sunlight can interfere with your ability to pilot the airplane effectively. These portable window tint panels help eliminate the annoyance of unwanted sunlight and keep pilots cool in the cockpit. In addition to dimming the light and providing some shade, the panels also block 99% of harmful UVA and UVB rays.
The panels adhere to windows and other surfaces using micro-suction cup technology that allows users to place them wherever theyâre needed and peel them off when theyâre not necessary. The panels come in three different sizes, the smallest of which is 7 inches by 12.5 inches and is priced at $29.99. The largest measures 10 inches by 15.5 inches and costs $49.99. Also included with the purchase is a storage bag for the panel.
