## Discrepancy

DURING FLIGHT, SMOKE BEGAN EMINATING FROM CENTER WINDSHIELD RIGHT SIDE.  WINDSHIELD HEAT WAS SELECTED OFF AND ANTI-ICE CIRCUIT BREAKER'S WERE PULLED.  SMOKING STOPPED, WINDSHIELD WAS HOT TO THE TOUCH.  INSPECTED CENTER WINDSHIELD FOR DEFECTS AND OHMED OUT WINDSHIELD & TEMPERATURE SENSOR, NO DEFECTS NOTED.  REPLACED ANTI-FOG THERMAL SWITCH AND WINDSHIELD TEMPERATURE SENSOR AS PRECAUTION.
