## Discrepancy

CREW REPORTED THAT ON DESCENT, AFTER ANTI-ICE SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED, THAT THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL IN THE COCKPIT.  ON CALL MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE ELECTRICAL AREA BEHIND THE CAPTAIN'S SEAT, AND PERFORMED OPERATIONAL CHECKS OF THE ANTI-ICING AND BLEED SYSTEMS.  THE ODOR COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD WITH NO FURTHER DEFECTS NOTED.
