## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS NOT GROUNDED: AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED DURING DESCENT INTO TYS DUE TO A ELECTRIC GENERATOR #2 ECAM FAULT. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY AT TYS AND TAXIED TO THE GATE UNDER ITS OWN POWER. MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE #2 ENGINE INTERGRATED DRIVE GENERATOR (IDG) AND ACCOMPLISHED A SATISFACTORY LEAK / OPERATIONAL CHECK.
