Uhhh, you're basing it on a data set which places the final position of the aircraft a mile or so beyond where it came to rest. And your "fix" is to merely delete the obviously incorrect data and substitute a position from another source, without any consideration of the fact that the rest of the data you're accepting as true may also be flawed, but not as detectible.
Need I remind? UPS 1354 crashed and burned 1 nm short of RWY 18. Why is it surprising that the last data point in the FlightAware feed may be incorrect?

The FDR and CVR could very well be toast and all their data lost. Should the people who want to know what happened to UPS 1354 throw away all other data sources too?

Are you saying that all FlightAware data is useless and cannot be trusted?
