## Discrepancy

DURING DESCENT, NOTICED VERY SLIGHT ODOR OF BURNING INSULATION.  UNABLE TO LOCATE SOURCE, ODOR SUBSIDED.  ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS TESTED NORMAL.  COULD NOT DUPLICATE ODOR.  ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS CHECKED GOOD, NO BURNT INSULATION FOUND, NO DEFECTS NOTED.  RT AND LT PACKS OPERATIONS CHECK GOOD, NO ODORS NOTED.
