## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT WAS REPOSITIONING FROM OAKLAND, CA TO MANILA, PHILIPPINES.  THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED MARJURO AFTER A FUEL STOP AT APPROXIMATELY 0900 ON DEC 19, 2013.  THE PILOTS FIRST SMELLED THEN SAW SMOKE IN THE CABIN AFTER THE HEARD WHAT THE PIC DESCRIBED AS A POP.  THE CREW RETURNED TO MARJURO WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  FURTHER EXAMINATION OF THE CABIN AFTER LANDING REVEALED THAT THE COMPUTER FOR THE CAMERA MOUNTED ON THE AIRCRAFT WAS THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL.  THE CURRENT LIMITER FOR THE CAMERA SYSTEM OPENED THE ELECTRICAL CONTACT TO THE CAMERA SYSTEM UPON THE COMPUTER FAILURE.  A PC BOARD IN THE COMPUTER UNIT FAILED.

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.
