## Discrepancy

DURING TAXI TO THE RUNWAY, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT NOTIFIED THE CAPTAIN THERE WAS SMOKE IN THE CABIN.  APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 15 SECONDS LATER THE CREW RECEIVED A LAV SMOKE CAS MESSAGE.  THE CREW IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED THE QUICK REFERENCE HANDBOOK AND EVACUATED THE PLANE.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE TO THE PLANE.  MAINTENANCE SENT MECHANICS FROM PIT TO INSPECT THE AIRCRAFT.  THE MECHANICS GROUND RAN THE AIRCRAFT AND INSPECT THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEM.  NO DEFECTS WERE FOUND AND THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS REPOSITIONED TO PIT WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENTS, AGAIN THE AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED WITH NO DEFECTS FOUND.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS THEN RELEASED FOR SERVICE.
