## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED CRACKLING SOUND AND FAINT SMELL OF BURNING ON LANDING - THOUGHT TO BE COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED ALL ELECTRICAL DEVICES AND WIRING BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND PERFORMED ENGINE RUNS WITH NO DEFECTS OR ADDITIONAL SMELL DETECTED. FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND A SECTION OF EXTERIOR SEAL ON WINDSHIELD TO HAVE COME LOOSE AND CONTACTING THE TOP OF THE FUSELAGE. THE WINDSHIELD WAS RE-SEALED AND FUNCTIONALLY FLIGHT CHECKED WITH NO FURTHER DEFECTS NOTED.
