NTSB: Pilot Repeatedly Warned Prime Air 767 Was Too Fast Before Miami Overrun
The NTSB released a preliminary CVR transcript showing one pilot of an Amazon Prime Air Boeing 767 warned multiple times that the aircraft was flying too fast before it overran a runway in Miami.

One pilot on an Amazon Prime Air cargo flight that ran off a runway in Miami on Sunday said again and again that the aircraft was approaching too quickly, according to a preliminary transcript from the National Transportation Safety Board. The agency released the cockpit voice recorder summary on Wednesday. It covers about two hours of audio from the accident flight, though it is not a word-for-word record of what the pilots said.\n\nAbout one minute and 42 seconds before the recording ended, one pilot told the other they were coming in too fast. The same pilot kept pointing out the high speed for the rest of the recording. The other pilot did not give a consistent verbal reply, the NTSB said.\n\nThe CVR also captured automated warnings including minimums, sink rate, and too low terrain. The too low terrain alert sounded four times.\n\nRoughly 31 seconds before the end of the recording, sounds consistent with touchdown were heard. Sixteen seconds later, one pilot called for a go-around, but the Boeing 767 left the paved runway surface before it could climb away.\n\nFlight data recorder information showed the aircraft touched down at a ground speed of 134 knots. Seconds later, the brakes were released, according to the extract.
