## Discrepancy

DURING FLIGHT BURNING SMELL & SMOKE WAS NOTICED BY FLIGHT CREW IN THE FLIGHT COMPARTMENT.  AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE, THE MASTER SWITCH WAS TURNED OFF WHICH ALLEVIATED THE ACCUMULATION OF ADDITIONAL SMOKE & SMELLS.  THE ACFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  PERSONNEL DISCOVERED THAT THE MAIN STARTER CABLE HAD CHAFED INTO THE FIREWALL METAL SHIELD PN S1095-4.
