A BE33 FLT INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT EXPERIENCED HEAT AND THE SMELL OF SMOKE WHILE PERFORMING TRAINING MANEUVERS. MADE AN EMER LNDG.

Narrative

DURING A DEMONSTRATION OF 8'S ON PYLONS; I NOTICED THAT MY LEGS WERE GETTING HOT. I AT FIRST THOUGHT THAT WE HAD PLACED THE HEATER ON; BUT I THEN NOTICED A SMELL ALMOST LIKE ANTIFREEZE ON A HOT ENG. MY STUDENT ALSO NOTICED THE SMELL (HE WAS FLYING). I THEN MADE A RADIO CALL ON OUR PRACTICE AREA FREQ 123.5 AND TOLD ANYONE LISTENING WHERE OUR LOCATION WAS AND WE WERE GETTING THE ACFT DOWN. I TRIED TO GIVE AN EXACT FIX FROM DRAKE; HOWEVER; I DISCOVERED OUR GPS UNIT WAS NO LONGER OPERATING. AS I NOTICED THIS; I SAW SOME SMOKE COMING OUT BTWN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE FRONT OF THE DASH. I THEN TOOK THE CTLS AND TURNED OFF ALL ELECTRONICS AFTER PLACING THE GEAR DOWN. I WAS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA AND DECIDED TO SET DOWN ON A 15-20 FT WIDE DIRT ROAD. I CHOSE THE ROAD OVER THE SURROUNDING FIELD DUE TO ITS LENGTH AND THE LACK OF TREES AROUND THE ROAD. WE TOUCHED DOWN WITH NO FLAPS AND STOPPED IN 1500 FT OR SO. THE PLANE WAS UNDAMAGED FROM THE LNDG AND BOTH MY STUDENT AND I EVACUATED PROMPTLY. WE SECURED THE ACFT ABOUT 10 MINS LATER AND MOVED IT ONTO A SIDE ROAD. THE AUTHS ARRIVED APPROX 1 HR LATER.
