A pilot warned another about the aircraft’s “excessive speed” before an Amazon cargo plane crashed in a deadly incident, according to data reported by the BBC. The warning came as alarms sounded, but the response from the other pilot was uneven.
The available information indicates that one pilot raised concerns about the aircraft’s speed during the flight. The exchange occurred before the crash and was recorded in data examined for the report.
The report does not provide further details about the aircraft’s flight, the location of the crash, the number of people killed or the specific sequence of events that followed the warning. It also does not establish from the available information whether excessive speed was the cause of the crash.
What is known at this time is that a pilot identified excessive speed as a concern before the deadly crash, while alarms were sounding and the other pilot’s response was inconsistent. Further details about the incident and its causes are not included in the available source information.
