## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

WHILE CLIMBING THROUGH 10,000 FEET AFTER DEPARTING ASPEN/PITKIN COUNTY AIRPORT (KASE) IN N701WC A GULFSTREAM G450 EXPERIANCED A CRACKED LH COCKPIT WINDSHIELD.  3 CREW MEMBERS WERE ON BOARD WITH 2 PASSENGERS ON A 14 CFR 91 FLIGHT BOUND FOR KATW. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CREW NOTIFIED DENVER ARTCC AS A PRECAUTIONARY AND CONTINUED TO KATW.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
