## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING FINAL APPROACH, PILOT REPORTED SMOKE IN COCKPIT AND PERFORMED AN UNEVENTFUL EMERGENCY LANDING. THE 'SMOKE' REVEALED TO BE HYDRAULIC FLUID MIST, WHICH SPREAD ALL OVER IN THE COCKPIT. ON GROUND WE FOUND A HYDRAULIC LINE BELOW THE COCKPIT CRACKED NEAR THE BEND RADIUS. BOMBARDIER AEROSPACE IS INVESTIGATING THIS EVENT.
