NTSB to release readout from cockpit voice recorder following Amazon cargo plane crash that killed 5
There's no indication speed brakes or thrust reversers were deployed. The National Transportation Safety Board expects to interview the two pilots who were in the cockpit of an Amazon Air cargo plane that overran a runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday , crashing into a van and leaving five people dead. At a press briefing Tuesday night, NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said investigators have recovered the cockpit voice recorders, which she said contains 2 hours of good-quality audio, and the flight data recorder, which she said contains 55 hours' worth of data. Investigators have already combed through some of the data, which indicated that the plane was coming in for landing, but that several seconds before the recording ends, throttles increased consistent with a "go-around thrust," NTSB investigator Chihoon Shin said. A few seconds later, brakes were reapplied and continued to be applied until the end of the recording, but there was no indication that speed brakes or thrust reversers were deployed, he said.
