## Discrepancy

IN CRUISE BETWEEN BFI AND TOL, IT WAS NOTED THAT A SMOKEY OR OILY SMELL WAS COMING OUT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IN THE COCKPIT AND COURIER AREAS.  IN TOL, MAINTENANCE CLEANED THE RECIRC FAN SCREEN, SERVICED THE LAV, AND RAN THE AIR CONDITIONING PACKS.  NO ABNORMAL ODORS WERE NOTED.  (M)
