## Narrative

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

(-23)AIRCRAFT WAS DIVERTED BECAUSE CREW REPORTED SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT. NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE OCCURRED IN THE PRECAUTIONARY LANDING AT AMARILLO TX.  THE SMELL OF SMOKE DISAPPEARED BEFORE LANDING AND NO SOURCE WAS FOUND DURING POSTFLIGHT INSPECTION.  THE CREW DECIDED THAT THE SMOKE HAD FILTERED INTO THE AIRPLANE FROM A FOREST FIRE THEY OVERFLEW.  THERE WAS NO EMERGENCY EVACUATION OF THE AIRCRAFT.  THE FOREIGN AIRCARRIER DID NOT HAVE CONTACT MAINTENANCE AT THE AIRPORT THEY DIVERTED TO, AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THEY DID NOT REQUIRE A MAINTENANCE INPSECTION BEFORE THE DISPATCH RELEASE.  THE PMI FOR THIS FOREIGN AIRCARRIER IS CONCERNED THAT THERE  IS NOT ADEQUATE PROVISIONS FOR MAINTENANCE WHEN THE AIRCRAFT IS OPERATING IN THE UNITED STATES.

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.
