DURING FLT, THE PLT DETECTED SMOKE IN THE CABIN. THINKING THAT AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION WAS THE SOURCE, HE SECURED THE ELECTRICAL MASTER SWITCH & USED THE BATTERY. A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING WAS MADE AT MONTICELLO, AR. DURING THE LANDING, THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED SHORTLY AFTER TOUCHDOWN. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE ENG & ELECTRICAL SYS OPERATED NORMALLY. THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE WAS FROM ENG OIL LEAKING ON A HOT EXHAUST STACK.
