## Discrepancy

FLIGHT CREW REPORTED, THE CAPTAINS WINDSHIELD INNER PANE HAS A SMALL CRACK IN THE UPPER RIGHT-HAND CORNER.  CAPTAINS WINDSHIELD REPLACED IAW MAINTENANCE MANUAL.  WINDSHIELD HEAT OPS CHECKED GOOD.  THE REPORTED CRACK WAS VIEWED UNDER A 30X MICROSCOPE AND THE CRACK IS ACTUALLY A CHIP ABOUT 5 MM IN DIAMETER.  THERE ARE NO CRACKS EMANATING FROM THE CHIP.  THE WINDSHIELD HAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF DELAMINATION ALONG THE TOP EDGE.  THE WINDSHIELD WAS SENT TO THE MANUFACTURE FOR EVALUATION.
