Actually, I would describe the sill as the substantial angle extrusion
which is on the outside of the fuselage
projecting both fore and aft on each side where the sidescreens slide
down.
On Alons and the M10 the canopy track channel serves this purpose, the
wording on ATC 787 being the
"hatch sill".

Gary,
The window sill is that hard, thick metal bottom of the window channel
where the window itself slides down out of sight. It’s what you sit
on while explaining to airport lurkers how wonderful Coupes are.
The Coupe’s correct on-the-ground attitude is defined by the level
window sill rather than the tail height. (We use the tail height as a
quick-and-dirty [but pretty good] way of eyeballing how close the
plane is to level.)

hi gang, I now know my tail height, but last week it was posted that
the MOST important thing is the sill being level;I have looked at my
canopy, and the window is in what I would think is the sill. Please
describe what you mean by the "sill".....Then, I can check to see if
its level. Thanks for reading this note.
