## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF THE FLIGHT CREW NOTICED AN ODOR IN THE COCKPIT. THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS (F/AS) CONFIRMED THIS BY ALERTING THE COCKPIT. SEVERAL PASSENGERS ALSO REPORTED THIS TO THE F/AS. F/AS ALSO REPORTED THAT THE SIDE WALLS AND CEILING SEEMED WARMER THAN USUAL.  THE CAPTAIN REPORTED THIS TO ATC AND ASKED TO RETURN TO LGA.  THE F/A THEN REPORTED THAT THE FLOOR IN THE SAME AREA WAS HOT.  THE CAPTAIN THEN DECLARED AN EMERGENCY.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED AT LG.  THE FIRE CHIEF REPORTED THAT THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF FIRE AROUND THE AIRCRAFT.  THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS THEN REPORTED A HAZE OR SMOKE IN THE REAR CABIN OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE CAPTAIN ELECTED TO DEPLANE THE PASSENGERS.  EVERYONE EXITED THE AIRCRAFT THROUGH THE "R1" DOOR WHICH WAS PROVIDED BY THE PORT AUTHORITY. THE AIRCRAFT WAS TAXIED TO THE GATE.  DELTA MECHANICS FOUND NO DISCREPANCIES.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS TEST FLOWN, SIGNED OFF, AND WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
