What was found

ON DESCENT ON FLIGHT 7846 FROM PRV TO IAD AND ON DESCENT DURING FLIGHT 7837 FROM IAD TO CMH THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR IN THE COCKPIT. THE ODOR GOES AWAY WHEN ON THE GROUND. THE ODOR MAY POSSIBLY BE FROM THE WINDSHIELD HEAT ACTIVATION DURING DESCENT. IT IS A VERY OVERPOWERING SMELL THAT EVEN THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT COULD SMELL IT. FOUND THE RIGHT WINDSHIELD HEATING SENSOR BOLT LOOSE. RETORQUED BOLT DOWN IAW EMB 145 AMM 30-42-04-420-001-A00. OPS CHECKS GOOD.
