## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT DECLARED EMERGENCY 15 NW OF GUS AFB BECAUSE OF SMOKE IN COCKPIT. N245 WAS RADAR VECTORED TO GUS AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. OUR OFFICE CONTACTED PILOT BY TELEPHONE ON 05/22/02. PILOT STATED THAT WHEN HE LANDED AT GUS HE SAW THAT C/B FOR STRIKE FINDER WAS POPPED OUT. HE LEFT IT OUT AND THE SMOKE CLEARED UP ON THE GROUND, HE THEN CONTINUED TO DESTINATION W/O FURTHER INCIDENT.

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.
