An American Eagle Embraer ERJ-140, registration N835AE performing flight MQ-4403 from New York JFK,NY to Raleigh-Durham,NC (USA), was in the initial climb out of runway 31L when during the left turn towards Canarsie upon being handed off to departure the crew declared emergency reporting smoke in the cockpit. The aircraft joined a left visual downwind, the tower advised he would need to hand the aircraft off in case they continued for a longer downwind as there was too much traffic out there, the crew replied they'd turn base right away and landed safely on runway 31L about 11 minutes after departure.

A passenger reported that immediately after becoming airborne the cabin started to fill with smoke, that appeared to come from the cockpit area, the smoke quickly dissipated again and was gone by the time of landing.
