WHILE IN FLT, THE PLT SMELLED SMOKE. WITHIN 30 SEC, SMOKE WAS OBSERVED COMING FROM AROUND THE FIREWALL & UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS. THE ACFT WAS OVER AN AIRSTRIP, SO THE PLT MADE A 360 DEG TURN & LANDED THERE. THE PLT SAID THAT HE IMMEDIATELY APPLIED BRAKES WHEN THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN 'CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO FLIP OVER.' HE EXITED THE ACFT BEFORE IT WAS FULLY INVOLVED IN FLAMES. THE ACFT WAS DESTROYED BY FIRE.
