7:31 p.m.: Flight from Indy makes emergency landing



LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — An American Airlines flight heading to Dallas from Indianapolis made an emergency landing Tuesday afternoon in Little Rock after a pilot saw smoke in the cockpit, officials said.

Flight 1257 landed safely at Little Rock National Airport just after 3:30 p.m., said airline spokeswoman Andrea Huguely. The 127 passengers and five crew members onboard the MD-80 suffered no injuries during the landing, Huguely said.

Little Rock National Airport spokeswoman T.J. Williams said the plane parked away from the airport’s terminal as a precaution. Williams said all those aboard were taken by shuttle bus to the terminal.

Huguely said the light haze of smoke dissipated after the pilot shut down the cockpit’s electrical system and depressurized the plane’s cabin. She said the plane was taken out of service and will be inspected.

American Airlines, a unit of Fort Worth, Texas-based AMR Corp., planned to send a plane Tuesday night from Tulsa, Okla., to ferry the passengers to the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
