The Cellar co-founder is a pilot, and tells a story about how she landed at PHL one night when she had to declare emergency... she was up in the air and smelled smoke, and detected a loss of engine power, and PHL was right there. I think it turned out to be a bad alternator belt.
She requested clearance for emergency... luckily it was not a busy time of day and they didn't have to work hard to route around her. They asked her if she needed the fire trucks out to greet the plane on landing... she said no it should be OK. Had to check in with the authorities there and do a little paperwork... otherwise it was quite acceptable to land at PHL with a declared emergency. As you'd hope!
