。报告称，亚马逊货运喷气式飞机的飞行员在坠机当天之前从未合作过，并且在撞击跑道时以异常高的速度行驶。
Wind Warnings Were Never Given to Pilots in Miami Crash, Federal Report Says The pilots of an Amazon cargo jet had never worked together before the day of the crash, and were traveling at an abnormally high speed when they hit the runway, the report said.
根据周四发布的联邦事故报告，上个月，一名空中交通管制员在允许一架亚马逊喷气式飞机在迈阿密国际机场降落时，未能警告飞行员有关大风的情况，随后飞机冲出跑道并撞上两辆车。事故造成五人死亡。
An air traffic controller failed to warn the pilots of an Amazon jet about windy conditions when giving them permission to land at Miami International Airport last month, just before they overran the runway and crashed into two vehicles, according to a federal report about the incident published on Thursday. Five people died in the accident.
根据国家运输安全委员会的报告，联邦法规要求管制员在降落可能受到强尾风影响时告知飞行员，尾风会沿飞机移动方向吹，并可能增加喷气式飞机的地面速度。分析并未得出结论，风力警告是否可能改变机长的计算，尽管副驾驶和飞机的自动化系统警告飞机接近速度过快，机长仍继续向机场前进。
Federal regulations require controllers to tell pilots when a landing could be affected by strong tailwinds, which blow in the direction the aircraft is moving and can increase a jet’s speed over the ground, according to the report from the National Transportation Safety Board. The analysis did not conclude whether wind warnings might have changed the calculations of the plane’s captain, who pressed on toward the airport despite the co-pilot and the plane’s automated systems cautioning that the aircraft was approaching too fast.
报告称，当飞机越过跑道起点时，其速度超过每小时203英里，并且仍在超过100英尺的空中。这种进近被认为对降落不安全。
When the airplane crossed over the start of the runway, it was moving at over 203 miles per hour and was still over a hundred feet in the air, according to the report. That approach was considered unsafe for landing.
该报告提供了对9月6日致命坠机前关键时刻明显沟通故障的洞察——空中交通管制与飞行员之间，以及飞行员彼此之间。国家运输安全委员会预计在发布最终报告之前不会确定坠机的可能原因，最终报告可能至少一年内不会发布。
The report offers insight into apparent communication breakdowns — between air traffic control and the pilots, and among the pilots themselves — in the moments leading up to the fatal crash on Sept. 6. The N.T.S.B. is not expected to identify a probable cause for the crash until it issues a final report, which may not be released for at least a year.
代表管制员的工会——国家空中交通管制员协会的发言人拒绝置评， citing an open investigation。

运营亚马逊航班的承包商21 Air在一份声明中表示，该航空公司认真对待安全。
In a statement, 21 Air, the contractor operating the Amazon flight, said that the airline took safety seriously.
