## Discrepancy

ON FLIGHT 2830 THE CREW REPORTED AN UNIDENTIFIABLE ODOR IN THE COCKPIT- POSSIBLY ELECTRICAL. THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  FOUND ODOR TO BE ORIGINATING FROM THE FLIGHT GUIDANCE CONTROLLER.  REMOVED AND REPLACED THE FLIGHT GUIDANCE CONTROLLER IAW EMB-145 AMM 22-11-01.  THE OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS GOOD.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
