AAL Flight Makes Emergency Landing In Orlando

Crew Smelled Smoke

An American Airlines flight from Fort Lauderdale, FL, to Los Angeles, CA, was diverted to Orlando Sunday after crew members smelled smoke in the cockpit.

The Boeing 757 took off from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport with 187 passengers and six crewmembers on board at around 1106 local time. Twenty minutes into the flight, though, the cockpit crew decided to head for Orlando.

Once on the ground, the aircraft was met by several fire trucks. Firefighters said the crew instructed the m to check the left engine. An FAA official said there was no fire.

"They [the cabin crew] declared an emergency as a normal precaution," said AAL spokeswoman Sonja Whitemon in an interview with local reporters. "Aside from the fact there was haze in the cabin, it was a normal landing."

The passengers were put on a replacement aircraft and made it to LA at 2151 PST.
