A pilot of the Amazon cargo plane that careened off Miami runway warned it was coming in too fast
Investigators said cockpit recordings show repeated speed warnings and a late go-around attempt before the Boeing 767 overran the runway, killing five people.
- On Sept 6, an Amazon Prime Air cargo plane crashed in Miami, overrunning the runway by 396m and striking two vehicles. The Boeing 767 accident killed five people and injured five others.
- During the final one minute and 42 seconds of the recording, one pilot repeatedly warned the other about excessive speed, the National Transportation Safety Board reported. There was no consistent verbal response to these concerns.
- Coming from San Juan, Puerto Rico, the flight was the third of the day for the cargo operation. The captain, 55, and first officer, 37, held Boeing 767 type ratings from May and April 2025 respectively.
- Fifteen seconds before the recording ended, a pilot called for aborting the landing and increased engine throttles. The NTSB found no evidence that speed brakes or thrust reversers were deployed to slow the aircraft.
- NTSB investigators interviewed the captain and first officer on Sept 9 before releasing an investigative update on the Boeing 767 accident. The inquiry continues as the board examines cockpit procedures and aircraft systems.
