    American Eagle Emergency Landing

    What: American Eagle Flight 2829 Embraer ERJ-145 en route from Gerald Ford International Airport to Dallas
    Where: Cascade Township airport, Michigan
    When: Sept 13 2012
    Who: 53 aboard
    Why: The flight boarded at 6:30, took off at 7.a.m.from Gerald Ford International Airport, but nineteen minutes into the flight, the panel’s engine emergency light lit up, indicating a problem.

    Passengers were told the right engine overheated. They saw no smoke, but say they smelled it after they landed, which runs counter to some news reports which say that the problem was a faulty indicator. About ten fire trucks were on standby. Passengers were provided alternative transportation.

    ATC recommended diverting to Grand Rapids, where the pilot made a safe landing at 7:25.
