## Discrepancy

WHILE AT 22,000 FEET AND IN CRUISE FLIGHT, THE PILOT TURNED ON WINDSHIELD HEAT AND IMMEDIATELY THE WINDSHIELD SHATTERED.  BOTH PPG AND RAYTHEON ADMIT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THE EXACT DATE WHEN THE DISCREPANT WINDSHIELD WAS INSTALLED IS NOT CLEAR.  REPLACED WITH NEW UNIT, CORRECTED PROBLEM.  CORE ROUTED TO SCRAP.  DATE:  4-23-98.
