Looking at the
flight path it seems the 2:10 position is the only one slightly off course. If that was due to systematic inaccuracy of the position records one would assume previous postions to be similarly off track.
Not beeing on centerline at 2:10 could be due to a decision to deviate, but could also be a result of the trouble that began around this time.
