## Narrative

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

(-23)ON OCTOBER 19, 2000, AT 1355E, AMD-50, S/N 186, REGISTERED AS N450K, DIVERTED TO PIT. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED AND DE-PLANNED DUE TO SMOKE ON THE COCKPIT.

THIS INCIDENT WAS INVESTIGATED BY DESK AUDIT AND IS CLOSED.

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.
