(CAN) PILOT REPORTED RT WINDSHIELD CRACKED ON RETURN. C/O INSPECTION ON RT WINDSHIELD AND COULD NOT FAULT THE WINDSHIELD. THE AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASE FOR RETURN TO SERVICE. THE AIRCRAFT MADE (3) OTHER TRIPS. THE PILOTS REPORTED THE SAME CRACK ON THE RT WINDSHIELD. AGAIN C/O THE INSPECTION ON THE RT WINDSHIELD AND COULD NOT FAULT. PILOTS REPORTED THEY COULD ONLY SEE THE CRACK WHEN THE AIRCRAFT IS AT ALTITUDE. SPOKE TO MFG AND DECIDED TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD. THE UNIT REMOVED WILL BE SENT BACK TO MFG AND THEY WILL REPORT ON THE FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE NEW RT WINDSHIELD WAS INSTALLED AND THE AIRCRAFT HAD SEVERAL FLIGHTS WITH NO FURTHER REPORTS.
