## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED: FLIGHT ATTENDANTS REPORTED THAT APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUNTES PRIOR TO LANDING, THERE WAS A SMELL OF DIRTY WET GYM SOCKS FROM ROW 23 BACK. MAINTENANCE REPLACED BOTH RECIRCULATION FAN AIR FILTERS AND ACCOMPLISHED A SATISFACTORY OPERATIONAL CHECK WITH NO ODORS NOTED.
