## Narrative

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

(-23) EXPERIENCED SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT/CABIN IN CRUISE FLIGHT 10 TO 15 MINUTES AFTER TAKEOFF FROM MIDDLETOWN (MDT). CAPTAIN ELECTED TO RETURN TO MDT AND COMPLETED AN UNEVENTFUL EMERGENCY LANDING. NO INJURIES. MOST OF THE SMOKE HAD DISSIPATED BY THE TIME THE AIRCRAFT LANDED AT MDT. SUBSEQUENT TROUBLESHOOTING REVEALED A BROKEN WIRE BETWEEN THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL UNIT AND OVERTEMPERATURE SENSOR.

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.
