## Discrepancy

ON CLIMB OUT THROUGH 25,000 FO NOTICE CONSTANT FLASHES LIKE SPARKS AT BASE OF THE RIGHT WINDSHIELD. THE FLASHES PICKED UP INTENSITY TO THE POINT THAT I COULD SEE IT FROM THE CAPTAIN SIDE. I TURNED OFF THE WINDSHIELD HEAT AND IT SEEMED TO STOP. UPON LANDING WE NOTICED THERE€™S ABOUT A 3 INCH CRACK FROM THE BASE GOING UP ALSO IN THE SAME AREA THE SPARKS AND FLASHES WHERE COMING FROM.    (FLIGHT 2959 - FILED CLOSED)THIS DISCREPANCY WAS TRANSFERRED TO CAMP ITEM 22614552 WITH THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIVE ACTION: "REMOVED AND REPLACED RH SIDE WINDOW IN REFERENCE TO AMM 56-12-01.
