This doesnt even seem like a conspiracy discussion but rather PFT just trying to pimp their "movie".

Is there a reason why Aeronautical Engineers is capitalized and the others aren't? Is there something special about Aeronautical Engineers that renders professional pilots and physicists impotent with regards to capitalizing? Are Aeronautical Engineers the fruit of your bounty while professional pilots and physicists are mere toads?
In any event, I've no interest to watch some cartoon made up of unverified, unvalidated and unaccredited aeronautical (lower case) data created by a bunch of people who don't even understand departure plates or flight clearances.

No eyewitnesses to a flyover there, either.
It's really simple: P4T still has no eyewitnesses to a flyover. No eyewitnesses, no flyover.
Any questions, Turbofan?

Hi Turbofan,
I have a question about the clip. Please refer to 8:02, where a side-on diagram depicts a pull-up arc about 370 feet wide, with a radius (the narration later claims) of 2085 feet.
Note that this arc is intersected by three radii, which I'll call the left, center, and right radii.
The right radius is vertical, indicating that the tangent of the arc at that point which is perpendicular to the radius is horizontal. In other words, the plane has leveled off at that point; the trajectory has become horizontal.
The left radius should similarly be perpendicular to the tangent of the arc, that is to the trajectory of the plane at that point, which is at or near where it hit the first light pole.
You are assuming in this scenario that the plane's trajectory is a straight line intersecting the top of the VDOT and the top of the first struck light pole (that is, that it does not begin to pull up until reaching the light pole, which is an unwarranted and unjustified assumption that makes this whole exercise pointless, but bear with me). So at that point the plane has been descending, up to that point, in a straight line from 304 ASL to 80 ASL over a distance of 2400 feet. That's a descent angle of 4.07 degrees from horizontal.
Why, then, is the left radius not 4.07 degrees from vertical? It's more than twice that. Where did the angle at which the left radius is drawn come from? How can that radius have an angle other than perpendicular to the tangent of the trajectory? It makes no sense.
It's wrong.
If you draw the left radius at the correct angle, perpendicular to the trajectory just before the pull-up, the radius ends up being about 3980 feet.
That radius gives you about 4.4g of centripetal acceleration, plus 1g = 5.4g total.
Of course, if the plane starts pulling up sooner, the necessary g forces go way down, exactly as R.Mackey and I calculated before. Whether you approximate the trajectory as a parabola or as an arc of a circle will make little difference. What makes the result in the clip so high, besides the geometry error, is the assumption that the plane flies in a straight line from the tower to the pole and then does its entire pull-out within a 370-foot ground distance.
(Note that in the other thread, my figures are a little different because I used a rougher approximation, 400 feet instead of 370, for the ground distance covered by the arc.)
Respectfully,
Myriad

However, can you tell me that it arrives at any conclusion other than that on the ridiculous 11.2 G page?
Do you still divide feet by the acceleration due to gravity to obtain something you claim would be the 'G forces'?
Since we are pointing out bad grammatical form, I should mention that the nominal acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth is written in lower case, 'g'.
Upper case, 'G' is the gravitational constant, 6.674 X 10-11 N(m/kg)2

What I'm "lazy" about is, as I mentioned before, not being interested in a cartoon that attempts to push a specific theory that is made up with data that is unverified, unvalidated and unaccredited.
I work in the field of modeling and simulation, specifically in the Verification, Validation and Accreditation field. Any simulation or model that is used in training, acquisition, test or evaluation or any other discipline needs to be verified that it accurately represents the developer’s conceptual description, validated to determine the degree to which a model is an accurate representation of the real world from the perspective of the intended uses of the model and it must be accredited by an independent authority as official certification that the model or simulation is acceptable for use for a specific purpose.
Anything else is a cartoon - it might look slick and neat and cool, but it is a presentation that lacks all the above criteria to make it meaningful and truthful.
Last I heard, the FDR data was from a "working copy", meaning it was by no means a final, validated and verified data set. Building your little cartoon from a "working copy" of a data set and not verifying the results and validating the data it produces makes it worthless from a technological and practical perspective.
Even if the FDR data set is indeed a finalized copy, the development of your little cartoon is still not worth anything more than a warm bucket of spit until you spend the time and effort to go through a VV&A process.
Go read up on the first launch of the Ariane 5 launch vehicle or the Mars Climate Orbiter to see what happens when you don't pay attention to VV&A in the design process of a model or simulation. You get data and results that can trash a multi-billion dollar program. And Captain Bob's penchant for arithmetical errors does not bode well for a quality product.
This is pretty much par for the PffT course, though. Make something look pretty and snazzy and cool - and forget the math problems, we'll fix those later! - and you'll get those people who don't know about accuracy and verification and validation to say "Wow!". Those of us who know, though, just sit back and laugh.
Like I'm doing now.
And work on your spelling, please. The poor use of grammar and poor spelling makes you look foolish when you try to talk about graduate-level issues. But go ahead and rub your hands together and giggle with Captain Bob and the Sky Kings about your little cartoon. Serious people know what tripe it is.

Physical evidence? pfff! LMAO! The magic Pentagon walls, and lack of debris found? Lack of photos...yeah. Carry on.Quite right, the physical evidence you can't refute. Let's not forget those widely separated, completely disconnected eyewitnesses who witnessed the impact and the over 1,000 people who saw or recovered the wreckage that your leader Bubba Balsamo said were "irrelevant."
Yet not a single witness to AA77, or any other low-flying twin-engine jet, overflying the Pentagon. How can you continue to claim an "overflight" without a stitch of evidence???
Such is the nature of your denial, Turbofan.

To continue, here's what happens with a pull-up on a circular arc when you don't assume the plane waits until reaching the first light pole before pulling up.
For this, I'll define the origin as sea level at the base of the VDOT tower. The light pole is 2400 feet away and the wall is 3416 feet away.
We have a trajectory that is a circular arc passing through three points:
(0, 304) -- the top of the VDOT tower
(2400, 80) -- the top of the first pole
(3416, 45) -- impact
We must find the center and radius of the circle that passes through these three points. We must also make sure the arc between the three points does not intersect the ground.
To find the center by hand is a lot of tedious algebra. Instead I use this circle solver applet (http://home.att.net/~srschmitt/script_circle_solver.html). The source code and the methodology used are available at the site, and anyone not trusting the results can check them by calculating the distance from each of the three points to the calculated center, to verify that each distance equals the calculated radius.
The center of our pull-up arc ends up at (3914, 29274) and has radius 29233.
The center's x is farther from the origin than the pentagon wall's x, meaning that the lowest point in the circle is past the impact point. So the plane is descending the entire time, and reaches no point lower than the impact point. The arc does not intersect the ground.
The g force generated by this maneuver (at v=781 ft/sec) is v2/r = 0.65g. With gravity, 1.65g.
As with R.Mackey's previous analysis with parabolic trajectories, the parameters can be adjusted for more conservative cases such as clearing the VDOT tower by larger distances, resulting in a range of higher, but still tolerable, g forces.
Respectfully,
Myriad

Not true. It is a long sentence but not a run on sentence.
2. The second paragraph is another example of 'run on'. Try using a period,

Actually a few comas would suffice
3. Paragraph three is an incomplete thought; read by itself, it makes no sense.
Bot true, it follows from the previous paragraph so there is no requirement to repeat the thoughts contained in the previous paragraph.
4. The fourth paragraph is missing some punctuation.
Not true, it contains one more comma than necessary.
5. The fifth contains an acronym which is not referenced. You should define
your acronym prior to using it.
Try reading the second paragraph again, it is obvious what VV&A stands for even if he did not include the acronym in the second paragraph.
6. It's poor practice to start a sentence with a conjunction such as "AND".
True, he could have eliminated the word "and".
7. "Like I'm doing now." is an incomplete sentence.
True, he could have tried a comma to join it with the previous sentence. His usage indicates that he is typing a conversation rather than a docuement.

So say you and PfT. However, given the history of PfT this is by no means a given simply because you claim it is so.
The data has beenverified. It was released by the NTSB. PFT based their calculations on
the DATA, not the animation. The Data is NOT a 'working copy'. Please
learn the difference.
You based it on your interpretation of the data and where it puts the plane over ground objects. those ground objects obviously do not get referenced at all in the FDR data. If you used the NTSB animation to determine what the plane was flying over then you used a 'working copy' that was never intended as a forensic tool and which has been shown to erroneously position the ground under the aircraft.

Why, then, is the left radius not 4.07 degrees from vertical? It's more than twice that. Where did the angle at which the left radius is drawn come from? How can that radius have an angle other than perpendicular to the tangent of the trajectory? It makes no sense.
It's wrong.
No, it's not wrong. It's based on flight data trends. Please watch the video
again.
If you draw the left radius at the correct angle, perpendicular to the trajectory just before the pull-up, the radius ends up being about 3980 feet.
That radius gives you about 4.4g of centripetal acceleration, plus 1g = 5.4g total.
Where might I find 5.4 g in the data file (averaged, or single point data)?
Why haven't you accounted for horizontal velocity in your previous calculation?
You did not correct your equation to include horizontal distance.
You should contact members of PFT for a more detailed explanation of how
to properly compute the values. It might make more sense if a professional
explains the procedure rather than myself.
At the ~6:00 minute marker, you can find an overlay of your arc in question
(the red line).
Once again, where are these 4.0, and 5.4 values found in the CSV file?

To find the center by hand is a lot of tedious algebra. Instead I use this circle solver applet (http://home.att.net/~srschmitt/script_circle_solver.html). The source code and the methodology used are available at the site, and anyone not trusting the results can check them by calculating the distance from each of the three points to the calculated center, to verify that each distance equals the calculated radius.
The center of our pull-up arc ends up at (3914, 29274) and has radius 29233.
The center's x is farther from the origin than the pentagon wall's x, meaning that the lowest point in the circle is past the impact point. So the plane is descending the entire time, and reaches no point lower than the impact point. The arc does not intersect the ground.
The g force generated by this maneuver (at v=781 ft/sec) is v2/r = 0.65g. With gravity, 1.65g.
As with R.Mackey's previous analysis with parabolic trajectories, the parameters can be adjusted for more conservative cases such as clearing the VDOT tower by larger distances, resulting in a range of higher, but still tolerable, g forces.

You see the problem with your calculation and R. Mackey's math is that
the values don't appear in the CSV file!
How do you arrive at 1.65 g when averaging the values in the data file
over the duration needed to complete the pull up?
EDIT:
I can't find 4.0 g, or 5.4 g for even an eight of a second; forget a full four
second duration as stated in your case. Furthermore, that is figured from
the top of the VDOT antenna!
Once again, the data files are extracted from the FDR, they are not
some sort of 'working copy'.

Perhaps spontaneous combustion would explain the downed light poles. Or perhaps Magic? I guess we'll never know if we rely on people who are "just asking questions dude".
Its magic! CiT assures us that the reason no one at all saw a low,fast over-flight is due to the misdirection by the plotters of this charade, thus its all just a big ol' magic trick.

You based it on your interpretation of the data and where it puts the plane over ground objects. those ground objects obviously do not get referenced at all in the FDR data. If you used the NTSB animation to determine what the plane was flying over then you used a 'working copy' that was never intended as a forensic tool and which has been shown to erroneously position the ground under the aircraft.
You cannot even be assured that the aircraft flew directly over the VDOT tower. In fact the physical evidence suggests it flew beside it close enough to clip a rung off the ladder.

Where might I find 5.4 g in the data file (averaged, or single point data)?
Where is 77? You don't know! In the video the position of 77 is never plotted from the FDR! Your video is flawed and Balsamo is wrong again.
Fact, 77 is 7 seconds away and only 360 feet above impact. This means the VOT junk video is based only on Balsamo's terrorist apology fantasy delusion, devised to sale DVDs of false information.
Where does the video prove the witnesses who saw 77 hit the lamppost wrong?
Where does the video prove the witnesses who saw 77 hit the Pentagon false?
Where does the video provide proof the DNA is wrong?
Where does the video prove the FDR, which clearly shows 77 is over 6 seconds away at 360 feet above impact is wrong? Or even show where 77 is?
Sad you leap to say 77 did not hit the Pentagon and offer talk as your evidence. Is that what Balsamo "flawed fysics" p4t co-founder says?
What happen to 1.5 DME? Was it dropped? How much is the DVD?
Did Latas, another p4t terrorist apologist, correct p4t failed fysics before 16 March? When Balsamo posted his "IDES" of March post on the 13th of March, I was expecting flawed fysics from the get go! They did not let me down major errors! Who was the first to correct the failed physics of p4t terrorist apologist? The video does not put a dent in any work JREF posters corrected in days after the "ides of march" failed physics flopped.

There is no evidence there were any 4.0g or 5.4g maneuvers. Those forces would only occur in PfT's fantasy scenario that says the plane had to sustain a 5+-degree dive all the way to the highway and then pull up within 370 feet.
The CSV data shows the plane reaching a point in space, at which the data ends. There is some debate about what real point in space is represented by the numbers in the data when all relevant offsets and errors are taken into account, but we all agree that the point where the data ends is not the Pentagon wall. There are only three possibilities for what happened to the plane shortly after it reached the point in space of the final CSV data:
1. It crashed into the Pentagon (or elsewhere in the immediate vicinity).
2. It continued flying, and flew away.
3. It froze in position where it was (and presumably is still there).
The CSV data does not show the plane crashing into the Pentagon.
The CSV data does not show the plane flying away.
The CSV data does not show the plane hanging motionless in space.
Therefore the CSV data does not support or refute any conceivable theory of how the plane maneuvered once it reached the point at which the data ends.
Unfortunately, there is plenty of other evidence that tells us what happened to the plane in the subsequent seconds.
Rob Balsamo is arguing that the plane could not have performed the maneuvers necessary to fly from (his opinion of) the true spatial location of the last position in the CSV data to the crash location. But unwarranted assumptions (extrapolation of past "flight data trends" all the way to the light pole; pull-up in 370 feet) invalidate his argument.
Why haven't you accounted for horizontal velocity in your previous calculation? You did not correct your equation to include horizontal distance.
I did not correct my previous calculation because it is not wrong. Horizontal velocity is accounted for. (One way to explain it is, I shifted the problem into an inertial reference frame moving at 781f/s along the plane's path. Doing so is completely legitimate in Newtonian physics. That calculation was of a parabolic curve just as R.Mackey's was but the inertial frame shift makes the x axis time instead of position, which conveniently yields accelerations directly. My results were slightly different only because we each used slightly different flight path scenarios.)
Each time you repeat your repeat your request for me to correct a calculation that you have not shown is in error, you reduce your own credibility, I'm afraid.

Alright, re: my post above - the "lowest hypothetical altitude" as mapped yields 10.14 Gs. First, can anyone specificaly disprove that calc for the line shown?
Second, if that proves accurate, why the line shown? Myriad pointed out the sudden change at the end problem being the major source of high numbers. Can Turbofan or anyone explain why they think the best case scenario has the plane leveling suddenly at the end after a steady steep dive? Should they have looked for sponsorship from J rather than L?
Third: This is not the lowest hypothetical altitude. John farmer has new evidence the antenna was clipped, which puts it a few feet lower, and I think that too might be wrong and it was lower yet, passing about 50 feet above the Annex roof just north of the antenna. About 2/3 up its height.
And also, it didn't level at a sharp angle. I'm going out on a limb here and guessing a plane's correction would be curved.
Fourth: Should this thread be merged with the obstacles one?

The actual position of 77 is near the blue dot on the right if you correlate the FDR to the RADAR data. John Farmer collected the data and made this image.

The data stops here! At the yellow dot, based INS accurate to 1500 feet. Data stops the same time for DME.
http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/tjkb/77lastpointfarmer.jpg
Final DME stored 1.5 DME from DCA. The actual plane position could be 3000 feet away.
The DME used by 77 has this characteristic:
With the appropriate DME geometry a position accuracy better than 0.5 nautical miles (3000 ft) can be easily achieved.
Actual studies, the best accuracy flying 77 at O DME to 8 DME ranges is 0.23 NM, and studying the DME overall on 77 on 9/11, ½ NM accuracy is common.
0.23 is good based on actual studies, you can use up to ½ mile and be okay.
The FDR DME is stored at a resolution of 0.25 NM, seen as x.0, x.2, x.5, and x.8. The required FAR storage resolution is 1.0 NM. No big deal, but indicative of 3000 foot accuracy.
Take the resolution, and accuracy, 77 can be at 1.854 NM from DCA, and the FDR can store 1.5 DME! This is giving 0.23 accuracy to 77, which could be as high as 3000 feet close in.
DME ends with the final data, same for lat and long.
If you take the yellow dot and move it forward 1500 feet, you are at 1.74 DME from DCA, that value can be stored as 1.5 DME with the 0.23 accuracy of DME and the storage resolution of 0.25.
The blue dot above is a RADAR position of 77 at 13:37:47.
The true track 61.2 degrees is very accurate, +- 1 degree. If looking for something to line up 77. This is why the INS data tracks nice on the end, it is lined up; on take off the INS was tracking parallel to the runway. IE, no matter where the INS thinks 77 is, the tracking/heading is accurate.
77 is over 6 second from the Pentagon when the data stops, confirmed by RADAR and backed up by witness statements of altitude near the VDOT tower. The altitude at over 6 seconds to go is 400 to 440 MSL. VDOT tower is 307 MSL.
2 seconds to go to VDOT tower, would place 77 at 280 to 320 MSL next to VDOT tower, or over the VDOT tower. Witnesses confirm these kinds of altitudes.
http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/tjkb/77fdrstopsterroristsees.jpg
Balsamo is using DME literally, as he has to say the INS crashed since it confirms 77 is over 6 seconds away from the Pentagon.
Balsamo then comes up with 10 to 34 Gs to prove 77 can't do something; but using 27,320 feet radius, I get 1.6977 Gs for the same set of condition.

Why did the NTSB decode the FDR and the data is available for you.
NO, the data stops 6 seconds or more prior to impact.
The last data point for altitude.
Yes, the altitude is 173 feet PA. Pressure altitude at 29.92. You have to add about 260 feet or so based on local altimeter setting. I may be talking pilot terms, let me get you the local altimeter for 9/11 near the Pentagon.
The PA can be off +-40 feet and more. The high speed, 463 KIAS was over the normal top speed of 350 KCAS, so there may be unknown errors in altitude not modeled in the FDC.
So the altitude PA at :44 was 173, :43 it was 239 PA
The RADAR Alt at :43 was 273 feet. RADALT is a microwave freq bouncing off the ground it reads 0 at landing, and is the height above the Ground.
From nearby, at DCA
METAR KDCA 111251Z 35005KT 10SM CLR 21/14 A3021
SPECI KDCA 111341Z 33010KT 10SM CLR 23/14 A3022

METAR KDCA 111551Z 33009G15KT 7SM CLR 26/14 A3021
Local altimeter was 30.21 to 30.23. The PA, pressure altitude has to be corrected, it is referenced to a standard day, 29.92 inches of mercury.

(Serious question)
See posts 15 and 33. Their actual arithmetic is correct. The problems are (1) the value for the radius of the pull-up arc used in the video clip is not justified and cannot be correct for the flight path given, and (2) the "hockey stick" flight path that assumes the plane flies a straight line from the VDOT tower to the edge of the highway and only then even begins to pull up is an absurd scenario in the first place.
Note that there is nothing inherently wrong with using a circular arc (constant acceleration toward a fixed point above the plane on the plane's own yaw axis) as the flight path for pulling out of a dive, instead of a parabola (constant acceleration straight upward). Both are approximations that are reasonable and will yield G force results that agree with one another within a few percent, as long as the dive was not extremely steep to begin with.

I see that now, a parabolic path would put the plane in a shallow part of the parabolic curve, far from the vertex of the extrapolated curve and thus , for a short section of a parabola it would approixmate a portion of a circle with only a small error.
Still stands though that PfT cannot justify how they determined that the lines they drew are perpendicular to the arc they drew. In the context of the video it would appear that they merely 'eyeballed' it on a piece of graph paper.

At 33 feet MSL, you do not dig your underpasses down, you building the road up! You get flooded. Turbofan has no idea what he is doing, he speaks first and never looks it up! The OVER pass goes up, this is why the posts are at 100 feet MSL. Turbofan is bold enough to lie and say 77 did not hit when the very FDR he speaks was found in the Pentagon.
The DME in the p4t decode is the last data point set; last second.
The NTSB decoded one more second of data. But Turbofan has no real point, do you?
Your leaving out what you think! Balsamo must not be typing fast enough for you.
Clearly area 77 flew over is higher than the rest of the area, my analysis of terrorist flying descent rates stands! 77 hit in a dive, not level; not one p4t can provide but opinion and hearsay, and outright wrong stuff like the underpass junk we see here.
The best they can do is 10 Gs, and 34 Gs that make no sense at all! Hockey stick math!

Here are a couple of blurry photos (sorry, no tripod) that I took from the eastern edge of the Pentagon Memorial. (http://memorial.pentagon.mil/layout.htm) I aligned myself directly between the VDOT tower and the point of impact. I'm not sure if the street lamps in the photos are in the same locations as they were on September 11, 2001.

I'd simply like to point out that Pfffft's math skills or lack of them are irrelevant, since they're asking the wrong question.
There are a some control points that Flight 77 must have passed through, or near, to hit the Pentagon.
We don't have a continuous trace of the flight path, thus the argument.
For Pfffft's purposes of showing a conspiracy due to the impossibility of this happening, it is not enough to show that there is a flight path passing through these points which Flight 77 could not have performed.
For this, it needs to be shown that that there is NO flight path passing through these points that Flight 77 could have successfully performed.
If there is one, then by definition it isn't impossible.
Since R. Mackey has already provided a broad range of flight paths well within the aircraft's capabilities (not only the provided cases, but all the cases in between them), there isn't any way to show it's impossible.

Boone: You were allowed to take photos on Pentagon grounds? When I tried to do this a few years ago, I was made to erase the photos (well, some of them).

I was there for the public opening of the memorial on September 11, 2008, I would guess that anyone can take photos from the memorial itself. That is why the pictures are dark, they were taken just after 7 p.m. right after the public was allowed in.
After having been there myself, I came to the realization that the people who use the Pentagon security videos to prove that Flight 77 leveled off over the lawn, are sadly mistaken. There is no way in Hades that that airplane approached the Pentagon level. Impossible!

Well, not unless you look at the flight data, and check the parameters
which would show banking, accelerometers, speed, etc.
But why would you look at the data when you can make up flight paths? :rolleyes:
Wait I know why! Because the FDR shows that AA77 didn't hit the Pentacon! :eek:
OOps, silly me. So, I'll make up some flight paths, then I 'll make excuses
about the NTSB impact time, the six seconds of magical missing data, and
DME values that are too close to the beacon to be six seconds away!
Now that's a solid theory! :rolleyes:

YOu got it Adam! I'll give you a call a bit later to work with your schedule.
I like how Llyod was able to stop on a dime and fishtale while the pole was
sticking out of his windshield. Not a scrath on the hood, or seats.
Amazing car!
ETA: Last time I checked the CSV file showed up to :45, so the NTSB impact
would be correct (as per flight study on their site).
Yes sometimes things happen but sane rational people look at all the available evidence and information while terrorist apologists cherry pick to support their fantasy.
Hey Turbofan here is an amazing true story of a man who fell 47 stories from a skyscraper and lived

But you can't show AA77 did anything else but hit the Pentacon. Even when asked here and on ATS repeatedly.

The flight data recorder stopped over 6 seconds away from the Pentagon. Many FDRs have stopped for periods of over 6 seconds, before impacts. You are not knowledgeable enough to know this, so you make up false ideas. Experience helps, Balsamo has no practical experience with math, and his flying knowledge is messed up.
Flight 77 made no banks over 10 degrees in the last 20 seconds of flight, the turn radius at 10 degrees is 17 NM. 34 mile wide turn. So there were no major turns, no more than .5 degrees per second or less made in the last 20 seconds. This is why 77 hit at close to 61.2 degrees true track. This is evidence 77 hit!
77 was also going 463 KIAS, the exact speed to match the kinetic energy the Pentagon was subjected to. Got physics?
Fireball at impact was exactly the size the fuel on 77 would make, and the firemen all found evidence of jet fuel.
So the FDR does support the impact at the Pentagon, but you have to use logic, and knowledge mixed with sound judgment. Got physics?

7 years and you still have nothing? What have you been doing?
No one has made up paths but Basamo who appears to be some sort of terrorist loyalist who makes up everything from 11.2 G to 10G to 34 G, which make no sense.
So you follow what has to be the person who is the most math challenge person I have seen in a long time who apologizes for terrorist making up implication of lies, "77 did not hit the pentagon", making up where the plane is, false paths, and impossible NoC paths. Proven by Physics to be impossible. Physics, not hearsay and lies, physics.
The FDR proves the NoC is a fantasy made up by Balsamo who can't do simple math and come up with a practical answer. I got 1.7 Gs when Balsamo got 10 and 34 Gs, using his method correctly. He got numbers but shows the wrong way for the radius he had.
So the FDR does support impact, but Balsamo has to manufacture lies to support his ideas. He lies when he says the INS crashed due to less stressful maneuvers than ordinary flight.

Flight path shown on the FDR supports impact. You can't explain why it does not. You can't do much of anything on this.
Your lack of flying knowledge is evident when you completely ignore the headings stored in the FDR. One of the most accurate things in the FDR. It is not like the INS with 3000 foot accuracy or worse, or the DME with 3000 foot accuracy. The DME is store in 0.25 NM increments, and you can't even acknowledge that FACT as you use DME as an absolute with it is off 2100 feet, proven by RADAR data and the FDR itself.
Of all the data in the FDR, the heading is very important. The heading of 77 stored in the FDR are cool. With the heading we can verify witness statements, RADAR tracks, and solve the financial market melt down as I day trade my way to a very small fortune. Smaller still.
The hundreds of witnesses saw 77 flying at about 61.2 degrees true track. It is confusing for you cause you have no clue what true track means, or how it related to the magnetic heading. There are four heading/tracks in the FDR. I doubt you know how to verify them and see how complicated it would be to make up data, fake paths as you and p4t due out of ignorance of flying dynamics and fraud.
The magnetic heading, direction the nose points. On 9/11 we know the winds and 77 is exactly drifting the correct degrees of the wind present. Stored the FDR is the magnetic track, corrected for wind, the last mag track is 71.4 degrees.
So we have winds supplied by the self debunking p4t web page, that verify the headings p4t say are faked. This is ironic. As you have to call all the factual evidence lies. And thus your lies are the truth based on delusional suppositions by a terrorist loyalist, Balsamo.
Long story short. The headings and tracks stored (all four of them) verify RADAR, as RADAR verify them. Multiple RADAR sites now adding hundreds of more into the cover-up and the inside job you and your group of terrorist apologist have as a fantasy made up from moronic errors and false ideas.
I can't find a single thing in the FDR to support your idea; you can't specify one thing either. zero clues, zero support.

Now that's a solid theory! :rolleyes:
Pffft's "hockey stick" flight path, with the straight line descent to street light level, and only then beginning a pullup, does satisfy their constraints of going through their control points.
But it's not the ONLY possible flight path that satisfies those constraints.
Since there is more than one flight path possibility, you can't say that showing one flight path exceeds the aircraft limits shows that all flight paths satisfying the constraints exceed the aircraft limitations.
R. Mackey has supplied multiple examples which do not exceed the capabilities of the aircraft, using Pfffft's control points, and entirely consistent with previous accelerations recorded on the FDR.
To show it's impossible, you have to find the flight path that meets the additional constraint of being the lowest g loading possible. If that flight path is outside the performance limits of the aircraft, then maybe you have a point.
Pffft hasn't done this. That's why I said they're asking the wrong question.
The question is not: "Can I come up with a flight path that give a high g loading?" Of course you can.
The question is "What's the lowest g loading for a reasonable approximation to the flight path?"

That would be a great idea IF you could determine, within acceptable inherent errors in doing so, where the plane was at the time those readings were taken and stored in the FDR.
The best way to determine where the plane is and at what time would be to corellate the data from the FDR with that of the radar sites. There will be another error involved, that of the different clocks involved, but now you have multiple recordings of the aircraft track. Now you can better determine where the plane was and when.
Then you could at least have a starting point in the vertical and horizontal and from that point you could determine the best case trajectory and worst case trajectory.
Does PfT do that? No!
Instead they decide
to calculate the worst case senario, the trajectory dubbed the "hockey stick", and drawing one other trajectory on paper and calling it the best case senario. They do not even bother to hand wave an explanation as to how they determine the placement of several lines on their drawing but use them as gospel to calculate a g loading.
They decide that
the plane impacted when the FDR record becomes corrupted. They then go on to conclude that since the recording shows the plane was not at the Pentagon and still higher than the Pentagon at that moment then the plane, that hit the Pentagon when its FDR recording became corrupted, did not hit the Pentagon.
They decide that
although the animation produced by the NTSB was never intended for forensic analysis, and that the aircraft track shown in the animation does not match that in the FDR data, they will use the animation to locate the position over the ground anyway.
They decide that,
with their conclusion that the FDR data does not match the flight path described by the physical damage on the ground, the FDR must be correct. This, they decide, despite the fact that they have to come up with a vast, wildly complicated, and wholly untenable senario of magician's misdirection and smoke and mirrors ,that fooled everyone in the vicinity (even those who say they witnessed impact), to make the physical damage and evidence that a plane with people on board crashed, incorrect.
They decide that,
having concluded that the flight paths described by the physical damage and the FDR do not match, they need not bother informing the manufacturer of the FDR that their product would be shown to be faulty by the most common interpretation of any instance in which these two flight paths do not agree.
They decide that
L3, the company that manufactured the FDR, backs their contentions even though they have never produced a technical paper outlining how they conclude that the two flight paths are grossly variant, let alone submitted such a paper to L3.
