## Discrepancy

NURSES REPORTED AFTER TAKING OFF FROM GOODYEAR AIRPORT AFTER GETTING FUEL AFTER A PR EVENT THAT THEY NOTICED A STRONG FUEL SMELL. THEY CONTINUED ON TO THE HELIPAD AT ABRAZO WEST AND LANDED SAFELY. I ARRIVED AT THE HELIPAD AND PERFORMED A INSPECTION OF THE HELICOPTER, OPENED UP ALL THE DOORS, INSPECTED THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COMPARTMENTS, AND DROPPED THE LOWER BELLY PANEL AND INSPECTED AROUND THE FUEL TANK. I COULD NOT FIND ANY LEAKS OR SIGNS OF LEAKS, THE ONLY FUEL THAT I COULD FIND WAS SOME AROUND THE FUEL FILLER CAP. CLEANED UP THE FILL CAP AREA AND RETURNED TO SERVICE.
