Sadly, and not for the first time, Simon is way out of his depth when it comes to drawing conclusions from ADS-B data (there may be a bit of Dunning-Kruger at play here).

I'm reminded of a similar discussion about 18 months ago (Norwegian B738 at Kristiansand):

If you have finally managed to convince Avherald of that fact without your posts being deleted, IP blocked and emails returned marked "We are not interested in spam" then you are to be congratulated.
Interestingly, there's a even a reader comment in the Avherald report on the Lion Air correctly pointing out that the photo captioned "The aircraft past the runway end" clearly isn't !
