NTSB report cites missing tailwind warning in Miami Boeing 767 crash
Based on · First reported
Sources
- A preliminary NTSB report on a Boeing 767 crash in Miami in early September says the aircraft, operated by 21 Air for Amazon Air, killed five people after impacting the runway at about 296 km/h.
- The report notes pilots were not informed of a strong tailwind, despite ATC warning another flight of a 40 km/h wind four minutes earlier, and that the plane touched down far before the landing threshold, contrary to procedures that require crew notification of such winds.
