## Discrepancy

AFTER DEPARTURE FROM DAY, THE CREW REPORTED A LEFT WINDSHIELD CAS MESSAGE RIGHT BEFORE THE CAPTAIN’S FRONT WINDSHIELD SHATTERED AT FL250.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO DAY AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE LEFT WINDSHIELD AND THE LEFT WINDSHIELD CONTROLLER IAW THE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL.  OPERATIONAL AND LEAKS CHECKS WERE PERFORMED.  NO FURTHER DEFECTS WERE NOTED.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED FOR SERVICE.
