## Discrepancy

AFTER FLIGHT FROM PHL TO BNA, AIRCRAFT WAS TAXIING TO GATE NORMALLY WITH NO FAIL OR FAULT MESSAGES PRESENT.  CREW REPORTED FLAMES STARTED COMING FROM THE FIRST OFFICERS WINDSHIELD AND COULD SEE THE WINDSHIELD CRACK AND START TO MELT.  FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE WITHOUT INCIDENT AND PASSENGERS WERE OFF LOADED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED WINDSHIELD PER EMB AMM AND OPS CHECKED GOOD.
