## Discrepancy

SHIP 0963 REPORTED SMOKE ODOR DURING LAST 7 MINUTES OF FLIGHT WITH RT AFT LAVATORY SMOKE DETECTOR SOUNDING. NO SMOKE WAS VISIBLE OR SOURCE LOCATED. ON GROUND, SMOKE DETECTOR WOULD NOT TEST. REPLACED BOTH AFT LAVATORY SMOKE DETECTORS AND COMPLETE DUCT BURNOUT ACCOMPLISHED ALONG WITH COALESCER BAGS CHANGE. NO FURTHER ODOR APPARENT. MAINTENANCE DID FIND A HYDRAULIC LINE LEAKING AND THIS WAS REPAIRED.
