WILLIAMS INTERNATIONAL ENGINE MODEL FJ44-3A, SERIAL NUMBER 141100, FROM AIRCRAFT 525B-0045 (N739JS), WAS RETURNED TO THE REPAIR STATION FOR UNSCHEDULED REPAIR. THIS ENGINE WAS DETERMINED TO BE CAUSE OF A COCKPIT/CABIN BLEED ODOR ISSUE BY AN FBO TECHNICIAN.

NOTE: THE IPC ROTOR IS A THREE-STAGE AXIAL COMPRESSOR.
