What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The aircraft had returned to ewr for landing, shortly after declaring an emergency during climbout, due to visible smoke reported in the cabin and associated cockpit crew alerts. An emergency evacuation was conducted on runway 4R and no injuries or damage to the aircraft were reported. The maintenance conducted after the incident revealed deteriorating engine seals in the no. 1 engine that caused smoke to enter the cabin through the environmental conditioning system. The no. 1 engine was replaced and the aircraft was returned to service.
