    22. Miami Runway Excursion Accident - Aviation English Beyond The Checklist (CSB7598)
    Sep 15 2026
    In this episode of aviation English by Revise Before Flight, I look at the language used to describe the recent Amazon Prime Air runway excursion at Miami International Airport.

    What is the difference between overran and excursion? Why does the NTSB use struck rather than hit? And what exactly are navigational aids and equipment?
    Using the NTSB’s own wording, I explore three vocabulary choices that can help pilots and aviation professionals communicate more precisely - especially when discussing accidents and incidents.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:
    ✈️ overran vs excursion
    ✈️ struck vs hit
    ✈️ navigational aids vs equipment
    ✈️ how register and precision matter in aviation English
    ✈️ how official accident-reporting language differs from everyday English
    The NTSB investigation is ongoing, so I’ll focus on the language used to describe the event, not on drawing conclusions about its cause.
