## Discrepancy

CREW WAS DESCENDING WHEN SMOKE WAS NOTED IN THE COCKPIT, APPROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 MNIUTES FROM DESTINATION.  CREW DECLARED EMERGENCY, CONTINUED DESCENT, AND LANDED WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENTS.

THE TERMINAL END WAS REINSTALLED, AND SYSTEM WAS OPS CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS.
