## Discrepancy

9 1/2 INCH CRACK IDENTIFIED IN R/H WINDSCREEN UPON ENGINE SHUTDOWN FOLLOWING +58 MINUTE FLIGHT REQUEST (FLIGHT DURATION OF 21 MINUTES FOR LAST LEG).  NO DISCREPANCIES WERE NOTED DURING PREFLIGHT OR THRU-FLIGHT/WALK-AROUNDS AT ANY OF THE LANDING LOCATIONS (ROME MEMORIAL HOSP; SUNY UPSTATE MEDICAL CTR; SYRACUSE AIRPORT).  PRIOR TO MISSION - AIRCRAFT WAS MOVED FROM 15C HANGAR TO -18C PAD.  FRONT DOORS REMAINED OPEN WHEN MOVING THE AIRCRAFT OUTSIDE.  LOWEST TEMPERATURES ARE ESTIMATED TO BE -20C IN FLIGHT AND -18C TO -16C AT EACH LOCATION; AIRSPEEDS BETWEEN 110-120 IN CRUISE FLIGHT WITH LIGHT TURBULENCE AND LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR OF 20KTS@60 DEGREES BETWEEN 017-020 MSL.  NO IMPACT DAMAGE TO WINDSCREEN OR OTHER AIRFRAME COMPONENTS WAS EVIDENT.  NO INJURIES - OTHERWISE UNEVENTFUL. EA APPROVED AND MECHANICS ARE WORKING THE TEMPORARY REPAIR NOW.
