## Discrepancy

CREW REPORT:  RUMBLING NOISE AND MILD VIBRATION IN LOWER NOSE AREA OF A-C. NOTICED RIGHT AFTER T-O.   SAMC TEXT: CHECK NOSE GEAR DOORS AND SEALS FOR CONDITION AND SECURITY.  CHECK RADOME SEAL, E AND E DOOR SEALS.  CHECK DUCTING IN E AND E COMPARTMENTS AND NOSE AREA FOR LOOSENESS AND SECURITY.  NOTE AVIONICS FANS FOR PROPER OPERATION.  REPLACED RECIRCULATION DUCT, OPS OKAY.
