## Discrepancy

FLT 363 - PHX-SMF - UNSCHEDULED LANDING - CREW REPORTED AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL IN THE COCKPIT JUST AFTER AN ELAC-2 FAULT.  CREW WERE UNABLE TO RESET AND SUSPECTED THE BURNING SMELL WAS FROM THE ELAC (ELEVATOR AILERON COMPUTER).  THE AIRCRAFT WAS DIVERTED TO LAS AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE NR 2 ELEVATOR AILERON COMPUTER.  SYSTEM TEST PASSED AND NO ELECTRICAL SMELL NOTED.
