## Discrepancy

ACY - FLT3698: AIRCRAFT WAS EN ROUTE TO PHL WHEN A BAG BAY SMOKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.  THE CREW DIVERTED INTO ACY AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF SMOKE OR FIRE.  THEY FOUND THE NR 2 SMOKE DETECTOR AT FAULT.  THE DETECTOR WAS ISOLATED PER MEL INSTRUCTIONS AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.  SUBSEQUENTLY, DURING OVERNIGHT MAINTENANCE THE SMOKE DETECTOR WAS REPLACED.
