## Discrepancy

MKE/CMH -  WHILE CLIMBING THROUGH FL 120, THE CAPTAIN'S WINDSHIELD CRACKED.  THE CREW NOTIFIED ATC, DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND RETURNED TO MKE.  AFTER MAKING A SAFE LANDING, MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD AND RETURNED AIRCRAFT TO SERVICE.  THE CRACK WAS FOUND IN THE OUTER PLY OF THE WINDSHIELD; WITH CRACKING IN THE OUTER PLY, CONTINUED FLIGHT IS ALLOWED.  (X)
