- The NTSB released a preliminary report on a fatal cargo crash involving a Boeing 767 operated by 21 Air that occurred in early September in Miami, where the aircraft overran the runway and struck a bus, killing five people.
- The report notes the pilot in command had only 150 hours on the 767 type and that the air traffic controller failed to provide wind information to the crew, factors the board says contributed to the accident.
Why it matters
The findings highlight the importance of adequate type‑rating experience and complete ATC weather briefings for cargo operators and could prompt reviews of pilot training and controller procedures.
