What: Delta Airlines/Pinnacle Airlines Canadair CRJ-440 en route from New York JFK,NY to Lewisburg,WV
Where: New York
When: Jan 21st 2012, 3:00 pm
Who: 4 passengers and 3 crew
Why: On takeoff from JFK, the cockpit developed smoke.
Pilots put on their oxygen masks and reported smoke in the cockpit. ATC had to negotiate the flight’s return with other flights coming and going, but managed to get them back on the ground about twelve minutes after takeoff.
By the time maintenance examined the plane, smoke had dispersed. The smoke is being attributed to fluid burn-off.
Passengers were provided alternative transportation.
