## Discrepancy

PILOT’S WINDSHIELD STARTED TO ARC AND THEN SHATTERED WHILE ON DESCENT INTO KTME. AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. POST-FLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED THE PILOT’S WINDSHIELD WAS MELTED AT THE ARCING AREA. REPLACED THE LH WINDSHIELD IAW G450 AMM 56-11-01. REPLACED THE LEFT WINDSHIELD HEAT CONTROLLER IAW G450 AMM 30-41-01. LEAK CHECKS AND OPS CHECKS GOOD.
