## Discrepancy

PILOT SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AFTER TURNING WEATHER RADAR ON. SMALL WHIFF OF SMOKE FROM BEHIND INSTRUMENT PANEL WHICH WENT AWAY, BUT SMELL PERSISTED. WEATHER RADAR DISPLAY DOES NOT WORK. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED FOR BURNT WIRES AND COULD NOT FIND DEFECT, SYSTEM WAS PLACED ON ME-, DETERMINED TO BE A FAILED WEATHER RADAR DISPLAY.
