## Discrepancy

ON FLIGHT 2942 DURING CRUISE THE CAPTAIN REPORTED A STRONG ELECTRICAL BURNING ODOR FOLLOWED BY FAINT SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT AFTER STARTING TO DESCEND.  THE CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  REMOVED AND REPLACED THE NR 1 WINDSHIELD TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER IAW EMB 140 AMM 30-42-01.  THE OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS GOOD AS PER EMB AMM 30-42-00.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
