## Discrepancy

CLT-CHS - FLT 583 - FLIGHT WAS IN CRUISE AT FL230, WHEN SMOKE BECAME PRESENT IN THE COCKPIT.  OXYGEN MASKS WERE DONNED.  WHILE DONNING THE OXYGEN MASKS, THE AIRCRAFT WINDSHIELD BEGAN TO CRACK.  AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED AND THE FLIGHT WAS DIVERTED TO CAE WHERE THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED CAPTAINS FRONT WINDSHIELD.  OK FOR SERVICE.  (M)
