## Discrepancy

ABI-DFW - UPON LANDING IN DFW, NOSE WHEEL STEERING FAILED. SHORTLY AFTER, CABIN FILLED WITH SMOKE.  CAPTAIN STOPPED A/C ON THE TAXIWAY AND EVACUTATED THE PASSENGERS.  THE PASSENGERS WERE BUSSED TO THE GATE.  UPON INSPECTION, FOUND THAT THE RIGHT AIR-GROUND PROX SWITCH HAD FAILED.  THE CAPT SHUT OFF THE PACKS AND TAXIED THE A/C TO THE GATE.  REMOVED AND REPLACED RT MLG PROXIMITY SWITCH.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.  (M)
