What the published data shows
This presentation separates verified/publicly reported facts from reconstruction. It is not an accident-cause finding. The NTSB investigation is ongoing.
Editorial note: Flight-tracking data are ADS-B/derived tracking observations, not a substitute for the aircraft’s flight recorders or the NTSB’s reconstruction. Weather, icing, turbulence and the crew’s actions are being examined; no definitive cause should be assigned from the early data.
Flight path & descent
The map below is a visual reconstruction using published route/position information. The final point is the published ADS-B position at approximately 26.633° N, 80.113° W. The intermediate line is intentionally labeled schematic rather than presented as every ADS-B position.
ADS-B Exchange reports N722BD at 17:49:32Z, barometric altitude 8,750 ft, groundspeed 238 kt and vertical rate −32,640 ft/min at that position.
Published reporting says the aircraft cruised near 41,000 ft before descending toward 35,000 ft near Naples and then entering a much steeper descent.
