## Narrative

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

PILOT DEPARTED VENICE, FL ENROUTE TO MONROE, NC. IFR WAS FILED; HOWEVER, CONDITIONS WERE VMC. THE PILOT RECEIVED AN “OVERVOLTAGE” ANNUNCIATION. THE ALTERNATOR WAS TURNED OFF AND DURING A SUBSEQUENT RESET OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, THE LEFT EFIS SCREEN FAILED FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY THE RIGHT EFIS SCREEN. A PUFF OF SMOKE AND ACRID ODOR WAS OBSERVED IN PROXIMITY OF THE RIGHT SCREEN. ALL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT WAS SECURED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE NAV/COMM AND TRANSPONDER. AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED AT APPROXIMATELY 1622. THE FLIGHT CONTINUED UNEVENTFULLY UNTIL LANDING AT 1646.

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.
