What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On the climb out of atl the flight crew advised dispatch that there was smoke detected coming from the galley oven - there was no fire. The fa pulled the cb and flight started to head back to atl. After the cb was pulled - the smoke slowly got better. Initially they declared a pan pan but that was later upgraded to mayday. The flight returned to atl and landed without any further issue.

Sept 2/2025 the oven was replaced. An operational check was carried out with no faults found. The aircraft was returned to service. No reoccurrence has been noted.
