aero screen / windscreen

anyone know at what height an aero screen becomes classed as a windscreen ?

Not an easy answer to give, as it depends on the height of the seat above the floor.

The SVA tester will put a block in the back corner of the seat, put a frame on top of that, then sight across a bar on the top - if the glass is in view, it's a windscreen! (it's a lot easier to understand if you look in the SVA manual!)

Mind you, if your aeroscreen folds down then it will never be considered to be a windscreen.

cheers,

David

That means I have to wee about with washers/wipers and a demister everything I want to avoid

No - put nothing on the scuttle - wear goggles (and ear plugs).

No screen of any sort = no wipers or washers!
