## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON DESCENT, THE AIRCRAFT CABIN AIR WAS CONTAMINATED WITH SMOKE.  A SIMILAR PROBLEM HAD BEEN ENCOUNTERED THE PREVIOUS DAY DURING GROUND HANDLING.  SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION REVEALED DAMAGE TO THE COMPRESSOR INNER SUPPORT OF ENGINE FA0190 AND CRACKING OF TWO INTER-COMPRESSOR CASE STRUTS ON ENGINE FA0191.  MFG WILL INVESTIGATE TO ESTABLISH ROOT CAUSE.
