## Narrative

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

ON SHORT FINAL, THE THE CREW REPORTED AN INTERMITTENT INDICATION OF SMOKE IN THE CARGO BAY.  THE INTERMITTENT INDICATION THEN CHANGED TO THE LIGHT AND ALARM, AND A FULL EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED. THE CREW STATED THEY WOULD STOP THE AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY AND EVACUATE.  IT WAS DETERMINED BY MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL THAT IT WAS A FALSE INDICATION, AND THERE WAS NO SMOKE OR FIRE.

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.
