## Discrepancy

THE ODOR OF SMOKE WAS OBSERVED IN THE CABIN AFTER TAKEOFF, BUT THE ODOR QUICKLY WENT AWAY.  THE ODOR RETURNED AFTER LEVELING OFF AT CRUISE.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS DIVERTED TO GSO WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE AIR DISTRIBUTION FAN CIRCUIT BREAKER POPPED.  THE CIRCUIT BREAKER WOULD NOT RESET.  THE AIR DISTRIBUTION FAN WAS FOUND BURNED AND INOPERATIVE.  THE FAN WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED AND OPERATION CHECKED GOOD.
