AT APPROXIMATELY 500 FT FLIGHT ATTENDANT/PASSENGER SMELLED/SAW SMOKE IN CABIN IMMEDIATELY NOTIFYING CAPTAIN WHO DECLARED EMERGENCY AND RETURNED TO AIRPORT LANDING ON 28R WITHOUT INCIDENT. CREW (3) AND PX (15) DEPLANED THROUGH MAIN CABIN ENTRY DOOR ONLY WITHOUT INJURIES. APPROXIMATE TIME TAKEN DURING EVACUATION WAS 2 MINUTES WITHOUT PANIC. AIRCRAFT WAS TURNED OVER TO MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL FOR TROUBLESHOOTING WHO FOUND THAT THE #2 ENGINE WAS PRODUCING FUMES/VAPORS POSSIBLY FROM DEFECTIVE CARBON SEALS. CORRECTIVE ACTION IS TO CHANGE OUT AND RETURN TO OEM FOR REPAIR.

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.
