## Discrepancy

AFTER FUELING THE AIRCRAFT THE PILOT PULLED INTO A HOVER AND SMELLED AND BURNT RUBBER SMELL.  I WAS CALLED TO INVESTIGATE THE SMELL AND FOUND THAT IT WAS COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER.  I MELED THE AIR CONDITIONING AND PUT THE AIRCRAFT BACK IN SERVICE. AFTER ADDITIONAL TRROUBLESHOOTING, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE A/C BLOWER MOTOR HAD SEIZED/BURNED OUT. A REPLACEMENT MOTOR ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN ORDERED, AND IS ON THE WAY. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUES TO OPERATE UNDER THE DEFERRAL AT THE TIME OF THIS SUBMISSION.
