Didnt have time to read your whole post but.. 061.5 degrees doesnt line up with the damage when working backwards from the impact hole based on wingspan.. etc. 2 degrees makes alot of difference when dealing with precise measurement. I dont expect you to understand.

Next.. the graphical representation (animation) has lat/long lines drawn. That is how they line up the graphical maps of the runway and pentagon sat image. If they didnt correct properly for variation at the pentagon. .the runway, Yankee and Zulu taxiways would also be off by more than 20 degrees (according to your estimates).

Basically.. what you are saying.. is that you are more competent than the professionals at the NTSB who put these types of reports/animations together on a daily basis and are given to various airlines to be used in recurrent airline safety training courses.... uhhh.. ok.. :rolleyes:

You assume too much, you make excuses for everything.. im not surprised.. The video will stay on the website until the NTSB answers for it.. not some anonymous guy on the net who thinks he knows how to produce animations and information better than the NTSB.

As i said... call them yourself. If they give the same explanation in that they incorrectly adjusted for variation, i will post it on the site... also get them to answer for vertical speed conflicts, altitude conflicts, system indication conflicts, csv/animation conflicts that show a blatant cover-up in the descent profile to make the aircraft appear lower in the animation than it actually is (the only parameter that doesnt match between the two in terms of the altimeter being set on descent)... record it the call.. thanks

202-314-6000... his name is Jim Ritter.

I dont have time to keep coming here and checking/correcting your work.. if you like.. email me your phone number and real name and we'll chat.. you can record our call too.. i sure will. [email protected]. Make sure you tell me you are the guy from DU when emailing your name and number.

Cheers!
