## Discrepancy

WHILE IN CRUISE FLIGHT AT FL230, THE LT WINDSHIELD INNER PANE SHATTERED.  THE WINDSHIELD ANTI-ICE HAD BEEN SELECTED AT NORMAL SINCE DEPARTURE AND THE OAT WAS –38°C.  THE CREW CONTACTED ATC TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY AND REQUESTED RETURN TO AIRPORT.  THE CREW THEN COMPLETED THE CRACKED OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD CHECKLIST.  AS A PRECAUTION, THE OXYGEN MASKS WERE DONNED BY THE CREW MEMBERS AND PASSENGERS.  THE CAPTAIN FLEW THE APPROACH AND THE CO-PILOT FLEW THE DESCENT TO VISUAL AND LANDED SAFELY ON RWY 06.
