## Discrepancy

FLT 53 EN ROUTE CLT TO LAS.  DURING DESCENT INTO LAS, THE FIRST OFFICER'S WINDSHIELD BEGAN TO ARC IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER.  IT THEN SHORTED OUT AND THE OUTER PANE CRACKED.  FLIGHT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE FIRST OFFICER'S WINDSHIELD.  OK FOR SERVICE.
