Which risk acutely increases when an aircraft window depolarizes?

A)Erroneous altitude sensor measurements
B)Increased susceptibility to radio interference
C)Elevated levels of pilot glare
D)Rapid onset thermal runaway

💡 Explanation

Pilots use polarized filters to manage intense glare; when a window depolarizes, pilots lose glare management due to disrupted **birefringence**, as the window no longer blocks specific light orientations. Therefore, glare increases sharply rather than alternative system problems or heat issues arising.
