## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF,  EXPERIENCED A VERY STRONG PUNGENT ODOR IN THE COCKPIT.  AFTER LEVELING AT 9000 FT,  REDUCED POWER & ODOR INCREASED.  DID NOT SWITCH PRESSURE SOURCE DUE TO RETURN TO BASE.  AFTER LANDING, ODOR WAS PRESENT THROUGHOUT CABIN.  NO SMOKE WAS DETECTED IN EITHER THE COCKPIT OR CABIN.  R & R WATER COALESCE SOCK IAW AMM 21-51-00.  PERFORMED APU & ENG RUNS WITH NO DEFECTS NOTED.
