## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT WAS IN CRUISE FLIGHT AT FL100 FOR TWO HOURS WHEN PILOT HEARD A LOUD CLACKING SOUND SEEMINGLY FROM BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE LOAD METER WAS PEGGED AT MAXIMUM CHARGING RATE AND AVIONICS WERE TEMPORARILY LOST. PILOT THOUGH HE MAY HAVE SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING, ALTHOUGH LATER HE WASN'T SURE. PILOT IMMEDIATELY MINIMIZED ELECTRICAL LOAD AND ACTIVATED ONE VHF COM RADIO AND DECLARED AN EMERGENCY. HE WAS INSTRUCTED TO LAND AT AVP, WHICH OCCURRED AT 2056Z. AIRCRAFT WAS ENROUTE FROM LEBANON, NH TO GAITHERSBURG, MD. MECHANICS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS ANOMALY. AN M OR D WILL BE SUBMITTED IF AND WHEN MAINTENANCE IS ABLE TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM.

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.
