## Discrepancy

ON JUNE 2, 2026 OUR FLIGHT VTE 3393 (N11526, PGA - PHX, PGA) RETURNED TO PGA AFTER WIND SHIELD OUTER PANE CRACKED WHILE CLIMBING THRU 9000'.  CREW COMPLETED QRH AND ELECTED TO RETURN TO PGA.  THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT DEPRESSURIZE.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT AND MOC WAS NOTIFIED.  THIS WINDSHIELD WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED DUE TO CRACKING JUST 31 FLIGHT HOURS PREVIOUS.  BOTH WERE SIERRACIN WINDOWS.  THE COMPANY IS PERFORMING AN INTERNAL INVESTIGATION AS TO THE CAUSE.
