An American Airlines flight from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles made an emergency landing at Orlando International Airport on Sunday after the smell of smoke filled the cockpit, officials said.

"They declared the emergency as a normal precaution," Whitemon said. "Aside from the fact there was a haze in the cabin, it was a normal landing."

The plane left Fort Lauderdale at 11:06 a.m., and passengers smelled smoke about 20 minutes into the flight. The plane landed in Orlando at 12:15 p.m., according to Kathleen Bergen, a Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman in Atlanta. She said there was no fire.

"The preliminary report was that there was an indicator of smoke in the cockpit," Bergen said.
