What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
While descending thru FL 220 into dca, the flight crew noticed the smell of smoke. The flight attendants were asked if they had smelled the odor. Since they were both in the aft galley, the in-charge fa moved to the forward galley and reported to the captain that she did smell the smoke.
It was at this time the captain noticed smoke around the f/o?s feet and then the windshield. O2 masks were donned, an emergency was declared and the flight diverted to iad.
