## Discrepancy

IN FLIGHT, AFT CABIN CREW DETAILED A BURNING SMELL FOLLOWED BY SMOKE (DESCRIBED AS A HAZE) DEVELOPING IN THE AFT CABIN. CREW MEMBER STATES LOOKED LIKE THE MAJORITY OF THE WHISPING SMOKE MAY HAVE COME FROM THE RT SIDE OXYGEN PANEL.  A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING WAS PERFORMED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE WAS NOTIFIED AND PERFORMED A THOUROUGH INSPECTION OF THE RT MED WALL WITH NO INDIATIONS FOUND OF A BURNING AREA.  THE ENTIRE AFT CABIN INTERIOR WAS REMOVED AND ALL WIRING WAS INSPECTED FOR BURNING.  THERE WERE NO DISCREPANCIES FOUND AND AFTER 1.5 HOURS OF GROUND RUNS THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
