NTSB narrative
On January 16, 2013, at about 8:26 local, an All Nippon Airways Boeing 787-8, registration JA804A, conducted an emergency descent and diverted to Takamatsu Airport (TAK), Takamatsu, Japan, due to an odor in the cockpit and a battery overheat indication. Upon landing, an emergency evacuation was conducted on taxiway 4 after the pilots noticed smoke outside the windshield and an air traffic controller confirmed that there was smoke coming from the forward fuselage. Of the 137 passengers and crewmembers onboard, 4 received minor injuries during the emergency evacuation. The flight was a regularly scheduled passenger flight from Yamaguchi Ube Airport (UBJ), Ube, Japan to Haneda International Airport (HND), Tokyo, Japan, flight number 692.
The investigation is being conducted by the Japan Transport Safety Board (JTSB).

Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- No bulk values were replaced by the NTSB case API.
- The date is the UTC date the NTSB stores; the local time zone is not recorded, so the local date may differ by a day.
