## Discrepancy

VCT-  DURING POST FLIGHT THE CREW NOTED THAT SMOKE WAS PRESENT IN THE COCKPIT WITH THE APU RUNNING.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED FOR FLIGHT.  MAINTENANCE PERFORMED A OPERATIONAL CHECK OF THE APU AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS, COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.
