What Is an Aircraft Scratch Panel?

A scratch panel is a thin, transparent polycarbonate sheet installed over an aircraft window or screen to serve as a sacrificial layer. It protects the underlying surface from:

Scratches from cleaning, tools, or headset contact

Wear caused by repeated use

Chemical exposure during maintenance

UV damage (optional UV-blocking grade)

Scratch panels are especially critical in cockpits, where optical clarity and safety are paramount.
