## Discrepancy

A STRONG ODOR WAS OBSERVED TEMPORARILY IN THE CABIN DURING TAKEOFF AND CLIMB.  THE ODOR DISAPPEARED AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES.  THE FLIGHT WAS CONTINUED WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEM.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED BOTH WATER SEPARATOR BAGS.  THE ENGINES WERE RUN WITH ALL BLEED SOURCES USED AND NO ODOR WAS DETECTED.
