## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS NOT GROUNDED: DURING APPROACH THE LEFT RUNWAY TURNOFF LIGHT CIRCUIT BREAKER POPPED AND THE FLIGHT CREW SMELLED STRONG FUMES IN THE FLIGHT DECK. MAINTENANCE VERFIED THAT THE SOURCE OF THE ODOR WAS THE CIRCUIT BRREAKER THAT HAD POPPED. MAINTENANCE ACCOMPLISHED THE APPLICABLE PROCEDURES AND PLACED THE ITEM ON MEL. MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE LEFT HAND RUNWAY TURNOFF LIGHT AND ACCOMPLISHED A SATISFACTORY OPERATIONAL CHECK PER AMM 33-43-11.
