## Discrepancy

DURING TAKE-OFF, FROM ROTATION UNTIL INITIAL CLIMB, A STRONG ODOR OF JET FUEL WAS NOTICED IN THE COCKPIT.  AFTER FIVE SECONDS, THE ODOR WENT AWAY.  FLIGHT CONTINUED AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.   MAINTENANCE INSPECTED FOR FUEL LEAKS AND FOUND NONE.  ACCOMPLISHED THE APPROPRIATE FIM PROCEDURE.  AIRCRAFT OK FOR SERVICE.
