What was found
AT 27,000 FT THE PILOT SIDE WINDSHIELD SHATTERED. THE PILOTS VIEW WAS TOTALLY OBSTRUCTED. THE COPILOT WAS ABLE TO LAND THE AIRCRAFT SAFELY. AFTER REMOVAL, THE OUTSIDE PANEL WAS NOT DAMAGED. THE INSIDE PANEL WAS STILL IN TACT BUT COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THE LARGEST PIECE WAS ONLY .5 INCH IN DIAMETER. AFTER TALKING TO MFG, IT WAS REVEALED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND AN NEW STYLE WINDSHIELD WAS BEING USED. (K)
