THE CAPTAIN DESELECTED THE WINDSHIELD 1 AND 2 HEAT AND THE SMOKE STOPPED. THE CREW CONTINUED TO RUN EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FROM THE QUICK REFERENCE HANDBOOK, SECTION 11. THE CREW NOTIFIED ATC OF THE CONDITION AND REQUESTED A VECTOR TO ALBANY AIRPORT (ALB). AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING WAS MADE ON RUNWAY 19 AND THE AIRCRAFT TAXIED TO THE GATE FOR NORMAL PASSENGER DEPLANING.

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.
