The Miami Air flight 293 ( Flight number : LL293 or BSK293 ) was a charter flight to the US airline Miami Air International from Guantanamo Bay in Cuba to Jacksonville in Florida , in which at May 3, 2019 to 21:43 local time the The Boeing 737-800 ( aircraft registration number: N732MA) used came off the runway to the right, overshot it by around 380 meters, collided with a dike and came to a halt in the St. Johns River behind it . 21 passengers (according to other sources: 22 inmates) were slightly injured and one person was taken to a hospital. At the time of the accident, there was a thunderstorm over the airport. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) took over the investigation and sent 16 employees to the scene of the accident.
The lower half of the plane had been flooded. The flight data recorder was read undamaged and the voice recorder was recovered on May 7th. Runway 10/28 was renovated in 2016 and has a "crown" that enables rainwater to be drained off to the side . The airport has an RNAV approach procedure to the runway used by Miami Air Flight 293.
On May 5, 2019, the NTSB announced at a press conference that the aircraft touched down at an indicated speed of 163 knots (302 km / h, corresponding to a speed of 178 knots or 330 km / h above ground). The landing flaps were extended to 30 degrees, the ground spoilers ( spoilers that extend automatically after landing) followed three seconds after touchdown. The thrust reverser was not available for the left engine. The crew initially requested an approach to runway 28, but later decided to land on runway 10; the available landing distance on this runway was only 7800 feet (2377 m), 1200 ft (366 m) less than normally possible, because at the beginning of this runway a safety cable (so-called arrestor cable ) was tensioned for the training of pilots practice these landings on aircraft carriers .
At the end of May, the NTSB published another press release, according to which the approach control had informed the pilots early on that a storm was moving over the place. The wind direction at the time of the accident made a landing on runway 28 seem more sensible, but the air traffic controller at Jacksonville Airport informed the crew that runway 10 “looked better”, whereupon the crew decided on this runway and consequently a landing with a tailwind . The aircraft touched down about 490 meters behind the offset threshold and six meters to the right of the center line, was then steered back onto this line before it again left the center line, first by about 23 meters and then about 1900 meters behind the threshold Leave train. Furthermore, the NTSB announced that the flight to Guantanamo and the flight back in the accident were a route experience flight for the first officer. At the time of the accident, he had flight experience of 18 hours on the Boeing 737 and a total of 7,500 hours, the captain also had a total of 7,500 hours, of which 3,000 hours were on the Boeing 737.
Each passenger is said to receive $ 2,500 in compensation from the airline .
