## Discrepancy

BURNING SMELL REPORTED BY THE MEDICAL CREW SITTING ON THE PATIENT COMPARTMENT (BACK COMPARTMENT) JUST BEFORE LANDING AT THE BASE, I74. THE MECHANIC WAS CALLED TO INVESTIGATE/TROUBLESHOOT AND FOUND SOME SCAT TUBING (HEATER HOSE) LOOSE. HE RESECURED THE TUBING, AND THE SMELL WENT AWAY. ALL SUBSEQUENT OPERATIONAL CHECKS (GROUND RUNS AND FLIGHT CHECKS) WERE GOOD.
