## Discrepancy

PILOTS OVERHEAD HATCH WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF. THE PLEXIGLASS WINDOW IS MOUNTED BY USE OF A FIBERGLASS LAMINATE. THE FIBERGLASS LAMINATE IS WHAT FAILED CAUSING THE SEPARATION. THE WINDOW RIPPED OFF THE COMM 1 ANTENNAE AND DENTED THE VERTICAL STABILIZER L/E. THE LT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER L/E WAS DENTED AS WELL.
