## Discrepancy

SMOKE ODOR IN PLANE, WHEN RECIRC FAN TURNED OFF, SMELL WENT AWAY. OPS CHECK RECIRC FAN WITH NO DEFECTS NOTED. INSP CABIN & FOUND AFT CABIN FLASHLIGHT BATTERIES VERY HOT WITH STRONG SULFUR ODOR. REPLACED AFT FLASHLIGHT & BATTERIES. REPLACED F/A AND CAPTAINS FLASHLIGHT & BATTERIES & REPLACED F/O'S BATTERIES IN FLASHLIGHT. ALL BASES LOOK GOOD.
