  2. Context that Prime Air contracts out its aircraft operations to several airlines, here flown by 21 Air, and no emergency was declared by the crew.
  3. Diagram and description of Runway 30 at Miami (9300 feet long but with a displaced threshold reducing usable length to just under 8000 feet).
  4. Observations about weather including possible microbursts causing unexpected tailwinds.
  5. The physical damage seen in photos showing a totally burned right wing and engine after coming to a stop.
  6. ADS-B flight data showing exact speeds on approach and at runway departure (172 knots crossing the threshold; 112 knots at overshoot).
