## Discrepancy

25 MINUTES AFTER TAKE-OFF, MEDICAL CREW NOTICED LIGHT SMOKE IN THE CABIN.  PILOT REMARKED THAT THE ODOR WAS IDENTICAL TO A PREVIOUS INCIDENT WHERE ENGINE INLET FILTER OIL ENTERED THE COMPRESSOR AFTER SERVICING.  MAINTENANCE CLEANED INLET  AND PERFORMED A VISUAL INSPECTION AND A FUNCTIONAL CHECK, NO DEFECTS WERE NOTED.  AIRCRAFT WAS GROUND RUN WITH HEATING AND DEMISTING SYSTEMS ON WITH NO DEFECTS NOTED.
