## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE FLIGHT, SMOKE FILLED THE COCKPIT AND CABIN.  A SAFE LANDING WAS MADE.  THE PILOT REPORTED THE ORIGIN OF THE SMOKE TO BE AT HIS FEET.  THE FLOOR WAS PULLED UP AND IT WAS CLEAR THE BLOWER MOTOR HAD SEVERELY OVERHEATED.  THE BLOWER ASSY WAS REMOVED AND MOTOR WAS FOUND SEIZED.  THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WIRING AND NO CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPPED.
