Summary
Initial flight data released Tuesday showed the Amazon-branded cargo plane's pilots briefly appeared to consider a go-around before the jet crashed after overshooting the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday.
NTSB chief investigator said the data showed signs consistent with a standard safety maneuver used to abort a landing attempt and circle for another approach.
The finding is an early clue in the federal investigation into why the aircraft failed to stop on the runway, with investigators still working from preliminary evidence.
