GoKawiilNTSB releases preliminary CVR/FDR data from Miami 767 runway excursion
The NTSB detailed early findings from the cockpit voice and flight data recorders recovered after 21 Air Flight 7598, a Boeing 767-33A cargo plane, overran the runway at Miami International Airport on Sept. 6. The recorders captured over two hours of audio and 54 hours of flight data, with a timeline showing the crew configuring flaps and gear for landing while one pilot repeatedly warned about excessive approach speed.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The repeated speed warnings noted in the transcript suggest investigators are focusing on crew coordination and airspeed management during approach as a possible factor in the excursion. Preliminary recorder data like this often shapes early safety recommendations for cargo carriers and airport operations well before a final report is issued.
- NTSB recovered and read out both the CVR and FDR from the Miami 767 accident.
- Cockpit audio shows a pilot repeatedly flagging excessive speed during approach with no clear response noted.
- Findings are preliminary; a full CVR transcript and further analysis are still pending.
