## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING FLIGHT THE RT COCKPIT HEATED WINDSHEILD SHATTERED BUT REMAINED INTACT. THE FLIGHT CREW DECALRED AN EMERGENCY AND RETURNED TO THE AIRPORT UNEVENTFULLY. THE WINDOW WAS REPLACED BY MAINTENANCE. THE CREW EXPLAINED THAT PRIOR TO THE WINDOW SHATTERING A ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE WAS WITNESSED GOING ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. OTHER THAN THE STATIC DISCHARGE, NO CAUSE FOR THE WINDOW TO SHATTER HAS BEEN DETERMINED. (TC NR 20061219027)
