## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE, THE FLIGHT CREW SAW THE WINDSCREEN TERMINAL CONNECTIONS BEGIN TO ARC AND THROW SPARKS, THEN THE WINDSCREEN CRACKED.  THE SYSTEM WAS TURNED OFF, AND THE FLIGHT CONTINUED ON TO DESTINATION.  NO EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED.  UPON LANDING, MX FOUND THE WINDSCREEN TO BE INTERNALLY SHORTED.  THE WINDSCREEN WAS REPLACED AND OPS CHECKED GOOD.  THE ACFT WAS THEN RELEASED FOR SERVICE.
