## Discrepancy

ON FLIGHT 3580 THE CREW REPORTED THAT ON LANDING APPROACH THEY NOTICED A STRONG ELECTRICAL ODOR IN THE COCKPIT.  THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT SMELLED THE ELECTRICAL ODOR AS WELL IN THE FRONT OF THE AIRCRAFT BUT NOT IN THE BACK OF AIRCRAFT.  THE ODOR WENT AWAY UPON REACHING THE GATE.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  REMOVED FLIGHT ATTENDANT FLASHLIGHT AND BASE INSPECTED & RE-INSTALLED PER EMB 33-50-16.  REMOVED AND REPLACED NR 2 EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY & BATTERY IAW 33-50-04 & 33-50-11. OCK IAW 33-50-00. INSPECTED FORWARD AVIONICS AREA & FANS IAW 21-26-00.
