A cracked cabin window under 25 hours requires which condition?

With a cracked cabin window, the integrity of the cabin pressure boundary is compromised. If the cabin were pressurized, the differential load on the cracked pane could cause it to propagate or fail, risking rapid decompression. To prevent this dangerous situation, the safe condition is to operate without cabin pressurization until the window is repaired and the structure can be verified. The “under 25 hours” detail signals this temporary non-pressurized state as the required operating condition in that window of time. Continuing with cabin pressure would not fit because it increases the stress on the damaged window.
