## Discrepancy

MX TECH NOTED A BURNING SMELL IN THE COCKPIT WHILE TROUBLESHOOTING A LIGHTING PROBLEM ON THE PILOT'S AUDIO PANEL.  THE ODOR APPEARS TO HAVE COME FROM THE ALTITUDE AWARENESS PANEL (AAP).  NO FIRE OR SMOKE WAS NOTED BUT THE AAP PRODUCED A STRONG ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL.  THE AAP WAS REPLACED.
