## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED: AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO GND DUE TO THE FLIGTH CREW RECIEVING AN ECAM MESSAGE FOR FORWARD CARGO SMOKE AT 9000 FEET. THE FLIGHT CREW ACCOMPLISHED ECAM PROCEDURES AND RETURNED TO GND WHERE THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE FORWARD CARGO COMPARTMENT AND FOUND NO EVEIDENCE OF SMOKE. A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED** (OPEN)
