## Narrative

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

FLIGHT CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND INITIATED AIR TURNBACK TO PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL (PBI) DUE TO PASSENGER REPORT OF SMOKE IN THE PASSENGER CABIN. CREW SECURED CABIN AND GALLEY ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, SMOKE CLEARED BEFORE LANDING AND AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.

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.
