## Discrepancy

PILOTS NOTED SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT.  MEDICAL CREW ONBOARD CONFIRMED SMOKE IN THE CABIN.  SMOKE WAS EMITTING FROM THE COPILOTS INSTRUMENT PANEL NEAR THE SIDEWALL.  THE CREW ACTIVATED THE O2 MASKS TO DROP AND TURNED OFF THE BLEED AIR AND SMOKE APPEARED TO CLEAR.  THE FLIGHT CREW REPORTED TO TOWER THAT THEY NEED TO RETURN TO BASE.  AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH NO ISSUES. SMOKE WAS NO LONGER PRESENT ON DECENT TO FAI.  MAINT IS CURRENTLY WORKING THIS ISSUE NOW AND WILL UPDATE THE SDR VIA ANOTHER REPORT ONCE MORE INFO IS AVAILABLE.
