## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOT REPORTED A STRONG SMELL OF RUBBER AND THE PROPELLER CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPPED.  ON LANDING, SEVERAL PASSENGERS REPORTED SEEING SPARKS FROM THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE.  INSPECTION FOUND THE BRUSH BLOCK WAS NOT SHIMMED EVENLY AND THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF BIRD MATTER ON THE BRUSH BLOCK.  THE BRUSH BLOCK WAS REPAIRED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
