Data Reveals Amazon Cargo Plane Was Traveling Too Fast Before Crash

Data shared by the National Transportation Safety Board revealed that the Amazon cargo plane that resulted in a fatal crash had been warned about excessive speed before landing, and numerous alerts were recorded during the flight.
Speed and Altimeter Warnings
According to the disclosed data, numerous automated audio warnings were detected on the plane, including electronic low terrain alerts and warnings indicating that the aircraft was not properly configured for landing.
Delays in Flap Deployment
