Arrakis,

I would be very interested to hear your explanation of how a time shift of any significant magnitude can exist on ATC radar display. Would you be kind to provide the link to your previous post, or to rephrase it, for the benefit of all readers? I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in it.

As for the terrain discrepencies:
Yes you are correct. The errors you talk about is in the image you provide, but has nothing to do with the plots I have posted. They take these things into account.

I think the terrain 1100 m from the rwy edge lies 15 m below the rwy, which means 101 was flying approx. 5 m below rwy and not 15 m when it hit the first tree.
Both charts I posted indicate a height of flight profile at approx 5m below rwy at 1100, and terrain at about 15m. This is exactly what is also your own assumption..

Sorry, I thought you post was to point out an error in the plots I showed. But this means we agree, yes..?
