## Discrepancy

ON FLIGHT 3464 THE CREW REPORTED THAT WHEN FLYING THE AIRCRAFT THROUGH MEDIUM TO HEAVY PRECIPITATION THE CREW NOTICED AN ODOR IN THE COCKPIT THAT SEEMED LIKE A MILDEW.  IT WENT AWAY AFTER EXITING PRECIPITATION.  THE ODOR WAS ONLY NOTICED IN THE COCKPIT NOT IN CABIN.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  RE-SECURED LEFT PACK DUCT IAW EMB-145 AMM 21-20-04.  THE OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS GOOD.  NO MILDEW ODOR NOTED.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
