## Discrepancy

(CAN) EXPERIENCED A CRACK IN THE RT WINDSHIELD.  THE FLIGHT CREW REPORTED THAT THE INITIAL CRACK OCCURRED IN FLIGHT AND WAS A SINGLE CRACK ALONG THE CENTER POST AND BOTTOM. THE FLIGHT CREW REPORTED THAT THE WINDSHIELD HEAT FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. SUBSEQUENTLY, SEVERAL OTHER CRACKS DEVELOPED SURROUNDING THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE WINDOW. EXAMINATION OF THE INTIAL CRACK SHOWED THAT IT ALSO HAD A BURN MARK IN IT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN REPLACED.
