The black smoke and burning smell was the rubber from the belt. I have a friend who is a skydiver and pilot. He was going to make a skydive from a 182 that was being flown with no door on it.

Thinking the airplane was on fire he jumped at about 250-300 feet barely getting his parachute open. The airplane landed just off the airport in a field, no damage or injuries. It was the generator belt in this case also. G
