Amazon Air

... where, like, there was something that happened with the airplane.

[laughs] So w- you know, who's, who's the governing bodies? What are the reports that we should expect to see, and are those reports gonna differ from what we would traditionally see with, say, like a Prime Air crash in Miami?

Yeah, so pla- Prime Air crash in Miami is gonna be a US-based carrier, uh, c- crashing on US soil.

The NTSB is gonna take that over.

The FAA is gonna be oversight on that, and that's gonna be kind of an in-house investigation, uh, domestically at least.

There we go.

Right, Nick, you've got the next story, and, uh, this one is, uh, all about, uh, an update on the, the Amazon Air.

Yes.

Um, I, I suspect this is a story that we're gonna keep coming back to for some time.

Um, and, uh, yes, I know that, um, certainly this week, the, um, NTSB has issued a preliminary report, um, and, and some of their findings.

So, um, this story comes from aerospaceglobalnews.com, and the headline is Repeated warnings and a go-around attempt: New details emerge in fatal Amazon Air, Air, Amazon Air 767 overrun.

The Boeing 767 in last month's fatal Amazon Air overrun in Miami crossed the threshold at 177 knots and touched down about 3,750 feet beyond it, US investigators have found.

The National Transportation Safety Board's preliminary report into the sixth of September accident provides the most detailed account yet of the final minutes of the 21 Air flight seven five nine eight on the sixth of September.

U.S. investigators say several failures may have contributed to last month's deadly cargo plane crash in Miami.

The Amazon Air flight overran the runway while landing and struck two vehicles, killing five people.

Investigators say the pilots were not given required wind information by air traffic control, while the first officer warned they were flying too fast before touchdown.

The report also says the speed brakes remained stowed and the thrust reversers did not deploy during landing.

Since opening its Sand Island processing center, Amazon now averages three flights per day coming in with customer packages.

Amazon Air Cargo has also helped Hawaii businesses expand their reach.

All of our planes that come to us are completely full of customer packages and orders, and then the planes that leave here previously were leaving pretty empty.

Local businesses here, like Diamond Bakery, that are able to now ship their product to the continent so that way they can deliver orders there is the goal.

All right.

So Harrison, you can start us off with the prime air incident.

Okay, this is probably the biggest one on this list.

It had five fatalities.

We would call ourselves Airbus enthusiasts.

Yeah, so.

So, according to data from Flightradar24, this incident happened on September 6th, and the Prime Air aircraft touched down extremely late and kind of in the middle of the runway.

On runway, let's see here.

Boeing really opened the doors for me when I worked for them in their spare parts division for a couple of years.

And then I got an opportunity with Amazon, specifically Amazon Air.

So there I was leading procurement.

So, you know, buying spare engines, spare assets, doing heavy maintenance contracts on their cargo airplanes.

The guys that were on duty that night when the Jazz airplane landed and ran into the fire truck.

And Steve, I'm sure you have a lot of... thoughts on that air traffic control is in the middle of their redo it's now 16 billion not the 12 and a half billion that they were allotted and there was some drama around that 21 air involved in that prime air accident down in miami that's still in the news and amazon just recently terminated their contact contract with 21 air And then a lot of comments about the pilot retirement age, but they want to know about the air traffic controller retirement age and your thoughts on it.

So let's start with, and Kennedy, Steve, I want to hear your thoughts on the firing or potential firing of these two air traffic controllers at LaGuardia.

You know, this is, in a way, a scapegoating.

Thanks to NordVPN for sponsoring the show.

OK, let's turn our attention to 21 Air.

These guys down there in Miami flying that Prime Air airplane.

There's plenty of juice left in this story for sure to talk about them.
