## Discrepancy

DURING DESCENT, THE LEFT WINDSHIELD OUTER GLASS PLY CRACKED IN MULTIPLE DIRECTIONS.  THE INNER STRUCTURAL PLIES REMAINED IN TACT WITH NO DAMAGE.  THE WINDSHIELD WAS DEACTIVATED IN FLIGHT IAW AFM AND QRH REQUIREMENTS. THE ACFT LANDED AT ITS ORIGINALLY INTENDED DESTINATION. THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW ASSY AND THE ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
