A pilot of the Amazon cargo plane that careened off Miami runway warned it was coming in too fast
Investigators said cockpit audio captured repeated speed warnings and a brief go-around attempt before the cargo jet overran the runway.
- On Wednesday, the National Transportation Safety Board released a cockpit transcript showing one pilot repeatedly warned of excessive speed while automated "sink rate" and "too low terrain" alerts sounded before 21 Air Flight 7598 overran the runway.
- Despite these repeated cautions, the other pilot provided no "consistent verbal response" to the speed concerns, highlighting a critical breakdown in crew resource management during the final minute and 42 seconds of the approach.
- Flight data shows the crew briefly advanced throttles for a go-around but returned them to idle four seconds later, failing to deploy speed brakes or thrust reversers as the Boeing 767 overran the runway by 1,300 feet.
- The crash killed five people in a van near Miami International Airport on Sunday and injured five others, while crews are currently separating the wreckage to relocate the aircraft from the runway area.
- Investigators are now probing whether crew fatigue, training gaps, or the 32-year-old aircraft's operational history influenced the landing, as officials continue to interview the flight crew to understand their decision-making process.
