## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

AMERICAN EAGLE (SIMA) AN EMB-135-LR ON FLIGHT 3364 FLYING BETWEEN LGA AND YUL, WHILE  IN CRUISE AT FL250, EXPERIENCED A BURNING SMELL, FOLLOWED BY SMOKE WHICH CAME UP FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE COCKPIT.  THERE WERE COMPLAINTS FROM THE CABIN ALSO. THE CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY WITH THE CENTER, AND LANDED AT ALB ON RUNWAY 1 (ONE) WITHOUT INCIDENT. ON LANDING THE SMOKE SUBSIDED ENOUGH THAT THE CAPTAIN REPORTED THIS TO THE TOWER, AND SO THE AIRCRAFT TAXIED UP TO THE RAMP WHERE THE PASSENGERS DEPLANED BY STAIRS AT THE RAMP AREA.

CORRECTIVE ACTION:

TECHNICIANS TROUBLE SHOT PROBLEM TO R/H PACK (ACM) AIR CYCLE MACHINE THAT WAS GRINDING AND PRODUCING ABNORMAL ODORS IN COCKPIT AND CABIN.
