## Narrative

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

(-23) ON 03/13/2004 AT 0959 EDST AN EMB-135-KL, OPERATED BY SIMA, WHILE ON APPROACH TO BUF ENTERED ICING CONDITIONS. WHEN THE ICE PROTECTION SYSTEMS CYCLED ON, THE CREW BEGAN TO GET A "TRACE OF SMOKE IN COCKPIT FROM MOST FORWARD PART OF THE GLARESHIELD, NEAR WINDSHIELD (CENTER AREA)." WHEN THE ICE PROTECTION SYSTEMS CYCLED OFF, THE CREW REPORTED THAT, "SMOKE CEASED AND RAPIDLY DISAPPEARED." THE ARFF RESPONDED AND THE AIRCRAFT LANDED; THEN TAXIED TO PARKING WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE LOG PAGE 1898755 INDICATES THAT SIMA MAINTENANCE "REMOVED AND REPLACED F/O'S WINDSHIELD, LEAK CHECK OK I/A/W AMM 56-10-01. REMOVED AND REPLACED WINDSHIELD TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER I/A/W AMM 30-42-01 OPS CHECKED GOOD. REPLACED WINDSHIELD TERMINAL AS REQUIRED." THE CMO WAS CONTACTED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE NTSB WAS NOTIFIED AND IS IN CONTACT WITH THE VENDOR FOR THE WINDSHIELD TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER. THIS INCIDENT IS CONSIDERED 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.
