## Discrepancy

SMOKE WITH A BURNING ODOR BEGAN COMING FROM UNDER THE CAPTAIN'S GLARESHIELD SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF FROM MSY.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO MSY WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE CAPTAIN'S AMBER MASTER CAUTION LIGHT SOCKET SHORTED.  THE SOCKET WAS REPLACED AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD.  NO SURROUNDING DAMAGE WAS FOUND.
