## Discrepancy

IN FLIGHT, NOTED A ODOR OF ELECTRICAL WIRE BURNING AND (CLICK) FROM OVERHEAD CONSOLE, SAW ANTI-COLLISION LIGHT OFF.  TURNED SWITCH BACK ON, SMELLED ODOR AGAIN AND SWITCH TURNED OFF BY ITSELF.  FOUND ELECTRICAL ODOR COMING FROM STROBE LIGHT POWER SUPPLY, REPLACED POWER SUPPLY CHECKED GOOD.
