The pilot compartment shall be arranged to afford the pilot a sufficiently extensive, clear, and undistorted view for the safe operation of the airplane. During flight in a moderate rain condition, the pilot shall have an adequate view of the flight path in normal flight and landing, and have sufficient protection from the elements so that his vision is not unduly impaired. This may be accomplished by providing an openable window or by a means for maintaining a portion of the windshield in a clear condition without continuous attention by the pilot. The pilot compartment shall be free of glare and reflections which would interfere with the pilots vision. For airplanes intended for night operation, the demonstration of these qualities shall include night flight tests.
