## Narrative

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

(-23)CREW DECLARED EMERGENCY DURING TAXI FOR TAKEOFF DUE TO SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT. AIRCRAFT TAXIED BACK TO RAMP WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE SMOKE WAS FROM THE #1 GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL THAT MAINTENANCE SUSPECTS HAD BEEN SATURATED WITH WATER THAT CAME FROM CARGO PALLETS THAT HAD BEEN LOADED ON THE AIRCRAFT AFTER THE PALLETS HAD BEEN ON THE RAMP IN THE RAIN.  THE WATER IS SUSPECTED TO HAVE SEEPED THROUGH THE FLOOR DURING PALLET LOADING.  THE #1 GENERATOR CONTROL UNIT WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.

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.
