About an hour after departure, while the airplane was in cruise flight, the pilot and passenger heard a 'cracking noise' and noticed that the right windshield had cracked. The windshield remained in place and pressurization was not lost. The pilot notified the air traffic controller that he had a cracked windshield and diverted to a nearby airport. The airplane landed uneventfully and examination revealed substantial cracking damage to the right-side windshield inner pane.
The windshield was disposed of before further testing could be performed to determine the failure mode.
Probable Cause: The failure of the right-side window inner pane for reasons that could not be determined based on available evidence.
