## Discrepancy

REPOSITIONING FLIGHT.  UTILIZED AIRCRAFT DEMIST DUE TO LIGHT RAIN.  SCANNED THE LANDING AREA AND NOTICED SMOKE BUILDING IN THE AFT RIGHT SECTION OF THE CABIN.  PERFORMED AN EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN AFTER LANDING AND EXITED IMMEDIATELY.  NO EVIDENCE OF FIRE.  LEADERSHIP AND MAINTENANCE NOTIFIED.  NOTHING FURTHER.  FOUND AIR DUCT THAT HAD COME UNGLUED CAUSING RESIDUAL GLUE TO BE IN THE HOT AIR STREAM.  THE BLEED AIR WAS HOT ENOUGH TO HEAT THE GLUE AND CAUSE SMOKE AND AN ODOR INSIDE THE COCKPIT FROM THE DEMISTING SYSTEM.
