## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: IN CRUISE FLIGHT OAJ-ATL, CREW ENCOUNTERED AN ELECTRICAL SMELL COMING FROM THE CIRCUIT RELAY CONSOLE ON THE F/O'S SIDE. CREW COMPLIED WITH THE POH PROVISIONS AND DIVERTED IN TO FLO. ATL MECHANIC ISOLATED THE PROBLEM TO THE RIGHT PROP HEAT RCCB AND DEACTIVATED SAME. THE AIRCRAFT WAS THEN FERRIED TO ATL. REMOVED AND REPLACED THE RIGHT PROP HEAT RCCB.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
