## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF GOT RT WINDOW HEAT FAULT.  FOLLOWED QRH & RESET RT WINDOW HEAT.  LATER CLIMBING THROUGH FL 280, THE LT WINDSHIELD COMPLETELY SHATTERED ON THE OUTSIDE PANE WITH NO WARNING.  THERE WAS SOME ELEC ARCING AFTERWARD.  LATER ON DESCENT GOT RT WINDOW HEAT FAULT AGAIN.  TURNED RT WINDOW HEAT OFF FOR REMAINDER OF FLIGHT.  R & R LT NEW WINDSHIELD PANEL IAW AMM 56-11-11-04.  PERFORMED TEST IAW AMM 30-42-00-05.  FOUND NORMAL, NO FAULTS.  ACFT OK FOR SERVICE.
