## Discrepancy

OUTER LAYER OF CAPTAIN'S WINDSHIELD EXPERIENCED SPIDER WEB CRACK DURING APPROACH AT 14500 FEET MSL.  IT STARTED FROM HEATED AREA OF THE WINDSHIELD.  THE ACFT LANDED SAFELY AT THE DESTINATION.  REPLACED CAPTAIN SIDE WINDSHIELD WITH NEW.  OPERATIONAL CHECK TESTED GOOD, NO LEAKS NOTED.  THE ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
