and in the case of the Austin incident, do you expect much "official" ADS-B coverage below, say 300 - 200ft, to be available? Wouldn't be surprised if the NTSB will include the "internet ADS-B" into its investigation...

It has been discussed many times before, that FR24's MLAT for non-ADS-B equipped aircraft, has only limited value and gives only a rough indication what the trajectory is. Nevertheless it's a pity that FR24 after all this time, still has not yet implemented a few simple filtering and smoothing algorithms so that these plainly stupid calculated values, can be discarded.
