## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS ESTABLISHED ON FINAL APPROACH TO KADS WHEN THE CREW NOTICED AN "ACRID ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL" AND ASSOCIATED EYE BURNING.  THE PIC REPORTED THAT HE DID NOT SEE ANY SMOKE OR FIRE.  THE CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY WITH ATC, REQUESTED ARFF ASSISTANCE, AND COMPLETED THE APPLICABLE AFM PROCEDURES FOR LANDING. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT AND TAXIED TO THE RAMP UNDER THE WATCH ARFF.  THE PASSENGERS AND CREW DEPLANED NORMALLY.  THE AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN PLACED IN "G" STATUS PENDING MAINTENANCE.
