## Discrepancy

PILOT DEPARTED RUNWAY AND DURING CLIMB-OUT HAD SMOKE ENTERING CABIN.  HE RETURNED TO AIRPORT AND MADE A SAFE LANDING.  AFTER INVESTIGATION, FOUND AIR CONDITIONER BELT BURNED AND WAS A CAUSE OF THE COMPRESSOR LOCKING UP.  SERVICED WITH FREON, OPS CHECKED, TEST FLOWN, CHECKED OK.  A NEW BELT, PN ES200333, WAS ALSO INSTALLED.  ALL TIMES ARE AIRCRAFT HOURS NOT ACTUAL TIME ON COMPONENT.  (X)
