A pilot of the Amazon cargo plane in Miami crash warned it was coming in too fast
Flight data released by the NTSB reveals that a pilot of an Amazon cargo plane repeatedly warned his colleague about excessive speed during a failed landing at Miami International Airport. The aircraft overshot the runway by approximately 1,300 feet and collided with a van, resulting in five fatalities and five injuries. Experts have criticized the lack of coordination between the pilots, noting that the crew had sufficient time to abort the landing or slow the plane down.
- ▪The pilot at the controls received repeated warnings from his counterpart about the plane's excessive speed, but the other pilot did not provide a consistent verbal response.
- ▪The crash killed five people who were in a van and injured five others, including two in critical condition, while the two pilots survived.
- ▪The plane touched down roughly halfway down the runway and briefly attempted to take off again before abandoning the maneuver and barreling off the end of the runway.
- ▪Former FAA official Mike O'Donnell stated that the crew had ample time to extend spoilers, cut throttles, or perform a go-around to avoid the accident.
