NTSB says Miami cargo plane crash linked to missing wind advisory
Based on · First reported · Updated
- A 32‑year‑old Boeing 767‑300 freighter operated by 21 Air for Amazon Air overran the runway while landing at Miami International Airport on September 6, killing five people and striking two ground vehicles.
- The NTSB preliminary report found that the FAA air‑traffic controller did not relay a wind advisory indicating gusts up to 25 mph from the south to the crew, and the pilots were not on the frequency when the information was given to another flight; the aircraft touched down more than a kilometre beyond the runway threshold at a groundspeed of 184 mph, highlighting the critical role of timely wind data in safe landings.
