I could use some help settling an argument between a friend and I....
Ok, so NTSB 830 states that an inflight fire requires immediate notification to the NTSB.
What if you're flying along and whisps of electrical smoke start coming out from under the panel? On one hand, you wouldn't be able to see or confirm that there is any fire/flames, but on the other hand, you could assume that where there's smoke there's fire.
If you landed successfully without ever seeing any flames, but had smoke, would you be required to notify the NTSB?
