Investigators from the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have released new flight data regarding the Amazon Prime Air Flight 7598 crash in Miami, Florida. The findings indicate that one pilot repeatedly cautioned their colleague about the aircraft's excessive speed as it approached the runway. According to the report, these warnings were met with inconsistent verbal responses from the other pilot, even as automated safety systems triggered altitude and descent rate alarms.
The Boeing 767-300 was traveling at 158 knots (292 km/h) during its landing sequence, a speed described by experts as being on the high end. The NTSB data also highlighted the timing of flap deployment, which occurred late in the approach. Aviation attorney Pablo Rojas suggested that the delayed use of flaps may have been an attempt by the crew to compensate for the aircraft's high velocity, characterizing the final approach as a "doomed" sequence.
After overshooting the runway, the aircraft struck ground equipment and a Ford van before breaking through a perimeter fence and colliding with a Toyota Corolla. The plane eventually came to a stop approximately 1,300 feet past the runway, resulting in a fire. The five individuals killed in the incident were members of a plane-cleaning crew inside the van. They were identified by Miami authorities as Rolando Aleman Leon, 55; Yoel Rodriguez Naranjo, 53; Julio C Pineda, 75; Carlos Acosta Fajardo, 53; and Javierkys Reyes Quevedo, 47. Five other people sustained injuries during the crash.
