## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE AT CRUISE ALTITUDE THE NR 1 (PILOT'S) WINDSHIELD STARTED CRAZING AND CONTINUED PROGRESSIVELY UNTIL OUTWARD VISION WAS SEVERELY IMPAIRED. CABIN PRESSURIZATION WAS LOWERED, WINDSHIELD HEAT WAS DISCONTINUED AND THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED ON TO DESTINATION. THE UNSERVICEABLE WINDSHIELD WAS REMOVED. A NEW WINDSHIELD WAS INSTALLED. THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
