## Discrepancy

CAPTAIN'S SLIDING WINDOW'S VISIBILITY IS AFFECTED BY DEFECTS, NEED TO EVALUATE CONDITION.  DELAMINATION ALSO AT RT SIDE AND BOTTOM.  VISIBILITY NOT AFFECTED.  CHECKED DIMENSIONS OF DELAMINATED AND FOUND MAX AREA B DIMENSION TO BE JUST UNDER 3.0 INCHES WHICH IS WITHIN LIMITS AS SPECIFIED IN AMM.  DUE TO WINDOW DELAMINATION APPROACHING LIMIT, REMOVED AND REPLACED CAPTAIN`S SLIDING WINDOW.
