What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Aircraft departed Kabul, afghanistan (oakb) destined for kandahar, afghanistan (oakn) and diverted to Bagram, afghanistan (oaix) due to smoke in cockpit from the #1 communications unit (com). Reported problem with the #1 com prior to the flight and that maintenance had addressed the issue before departure. Subsequent to the repair another occurrence of smoke from the #1 com head was traced to a wire that had chaffed and intermittently shorted to ground at a bulkhead pass through. The wire was repaired and aircraft returned to service. This form will be amended if/when more information becomes available. Amendment #1 completed to add pilot times and training and remove names as pilot actions did not contribute to the incident.
