The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released details concerning a recent incident at Miami International Airport involving an Amazon cargo jet. The crash, which occurred on Sunday, resulted in the tragic death of five individuals.
NTSB investigators provided a timeline indicating that the pilots lost critical moments before the aircraft overran the runway. As the plane approached, they appeared to momentarily consider aborting the landing, which likely cost valuable runway length and seconds.
Aviation experts reviewed the timeline, expressing concerns. Steven Arroyo, an aviation expert and retired United Airlines pilot, questioned the apparent indecisiveness regarding the landing. He stressed the importance of clearly choosing between landing or going around, unless a mechanical issue intervenes.
The NTSB plans to release a transcript of the cockpit voice recorder soon. Investigators aim to interview the pilots shortly, according to Jennifer Homendy, the NTSB chair.
Chihoon Shin, leading the crash investigation, highlighted the timeline from the last 30 seconds captured by the flight data recorder. These recorders usually cease functioning when the aircraft’s electric power is severed, typically in a crash.
