## Discrepancy

THE HEATER CORE END CPA FAILED DUE TO EXCESSIVE  DETERIORATED METAL.  THE HOT GASSES ENTERED THE DUCT RISER-HOSE-CONTROL VALVE CAUSING SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT.  THE PILOT WAS FLYING AT 11,000 MSL AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE.  PERFORMED AN EMERGENCY LANDING CRASHING THE AIRPLANE ON A ROAD.
