## Discrepancy

ONE HOUR AND A HALF INTO CRUISE FROM KBWI THE CAPTAINS WINDSHIELD CRACKED.  CREW RETURNED THE AIRCRAFT TO KBWI AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED WINDSHIELD AND HEAT CONTROLLER PER ALL APPLICABLE MANUALS.  OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS GOOD.  AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
