## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON AUGUST 29, 1997, PILOT REPORTED SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT DURING APPROACH TO FT. LAUDERDALE AIRPORT. THE AIRCRAFT SERVICES TROUBLESHOT ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL, VISUALLY INSPECTED WIRING, RADIOS RACKS, AVIONIC BOXES AND NO EVIDENCE OF BURNING WAS FOUND, OR CHECK SYSTEM WITH LT./RT. ENGINES ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM.

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.
