A flight to Charlotte returned to Jacksonville few minutes after pilots declared an emergency.
The American Eagle flight AA5702 departed Jacksonville, NC for a one-hour flight to Charlotte, NC operated by a 25-year-old Embraer ERJ 145LR.
But after takeoff from runway 5 the pilots stopped the climb at 14,300 feet and declared a general emergency (squawk 7700) due to suspected hydraulic issue.
The aircraft with registration N693AE turned around and landed back at Jacksonville only 26 minutes after takeoff.
