## Discrepancy

(CAN) AFTER DEPARTURE, THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERED A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE CREW NOTICED A BURNING ODOR. THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. UPON INVESTIGATION IT SEEMS LIKE A VOLTAGE SURGE OCCURRED, BOTH GPS ACU'S, BOTH COMM'S, RCR, DME, NR 1 NAV, NR 1 VOLTAGE REGULATOR ARE ALL UNSERVICEABLE AFTER THE EVENT.
