## Discrepancy

IN FLIGHT, CREW AND PILOT SMELLED A BURNING SMELL.  PILOT THEN NOTICED HYDRAULIC AND SERVO CAUTION LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.  IT WAS THEN DETERMINED TO DO A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING IN AN OPEN FIELD.  UPON LANDING, PILOT CHECKED THE RIGHT HAND BELT DRIVEN HYDRAULIC PUMP AND SAW BELT WAS COMPLETELY SHREDDED AND OFF THE PUMP.
