## Narrative

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

ON INITIAL CLIMB OUT AFTER DEPARTURE FROM MSP,  AT APPROXIMATELY 400 FEET AGL, PILOTS REPORTED THAT ACM (AIR CYCLE MACHINE) OVERHEAT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND SMOKE WAS NOTED IN THE COCKPIT.  AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED AND THEY PROCEEDED TO CLIMB TO SAFE ALTITUDE.  ACCORDING TO THE PILOTS, THE ACM OVERHEAT LIGHT THEN WENT OUT AND THE SMOKE STARTED TO DISSIPATE.  THE EMERGENCY CHECKLIST WAS RUN AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO MSP AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  AFTER SHUTDOWN ON THE RAMP, THE AIRPORT FIRE DEPARTMENT CHECKED THE AIRCRAFT WITH THEIR HEAT SENSORS AND FOUND NO IRREGULAR INDICATIONS.   THE CREW NOTED THAT THE SMOKE WAS MORE OF A HAZE THAT DISSIPATED SHORTLY AFTER THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THEY DID NOT FEEL A NEED TO DON SMOKE GOGGLES OR MASKS.

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.
