Amazon 767 Crash: Crew Received Seven Warnings in Final 25 Seconds

The NTSB released a summary of cockpit voice recorder data from the Amazon Prime Air Boeing 767 that crashed on approach to Miami International Airport on Sunday. The data shows that, in the last 25 seconds before impact, the flight crew received seven cockpit alerts: two “sink rate” warnings and five “too low terrain” notifications. These alerts indicate that the aircraft was descending too rapidly and approaching the ground at an unsafe altitude. The NTSB’s findings highlight the rapid sequence of warnings that the pilots had to process during the final approach. The investigation will examine whether the alerts were timely and whether the crew’s response contributed to the accident.
