## Discrepancy

ON 28 NOV, 2007 AT 2100, ENROUTE AT FL 330, THE CAPTAIN NOTICED A CRACK IN THE EXTERIOR PANEL OF THE LT FWD WINDSHIELD.  THE APPROPRIATE CHECKLIST WAS COMPLETED AND A SPEED REDUCTION AND DECENT REQUESTED.  WHILE DESCENDING A LOUD (POP) AND SUBSEQUENT WHISTLING WAS HEARD.  A FURTHER SPEED REDUCTION AND DESCENT WAS INITIATED. UPON LANDING, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A PORTION OF THE OUTER WINDSHIELD HAD SEPARATED THE AIRCRAFT.  IT IS UNKNOWN WHEN THE FIRST CRACK HAD OCCURRED.  (K)
