## Discrepancy

ON FLIGHT 3761 THE CREW REPORTED, HEARD A LOUD QUICK BANG SOUND AND SAW THE FIRST OFFICER’S OUTER PANE WINDSHIELD HAD CRACKED AT FLIGHT LEVEL 250, NO ICING CONDITIONS.  THE CREW IMMEDIATELY DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND REQUESTED A DESCENT.  THE CREW FOLLOWED ALL APPLICABLE CHECKLIST.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  REPLACED THE FIRST OFFICER’S WINDSHIELD.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
