## Discrepancy

THE CREW REPORTED THE SMOKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY DURING CLIMB AND STAYED ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES DURING CRUISE.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT, AND DETECTORS, AND NOTED NO DEFECTS.  THE DETECTORS WERE CLEANED AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE PERFORMED.  THE CHECKS WERE GOOD AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
