## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING CLIMB, PILOT HEARD AND THEN NOTICED THE LT WINDSHIELD HAD CRACKED.  PILOT RETURNED TO AIRPORT.  MX DETERMINED OUTER PANE HAD MULTIPLE CRACKS, MOSTLY VERTICAL, PARALLEL TO AND SLIGHTLY OTBD OF WINDSHIELD WIPER.   HAVE SEEN OTHER WINDSHIELDS FAIL WITH SPIDERWEB CRACKING OVER 100 PERCENT OF THE SURFACE. THIS CRACKING WAS NOT TYPICAL OF THAT FAILURE.
