Seriuosly, are you guys relying on FR24 data for the last part of the approach?
FR24 is notoriously unreliable for this phase.
Just try any random flight on FR24 into an airport (any airport apart from the major ones where coverage is presumably very good). Select 3D view and watch the appoach and landing.
Most of the time you will see an aircraft drifting left and right during the approach. Then the aircraft appears to go high on the profile. It may look like they are going around. It then will dropp (1 second) straight down onto the runway, followed by a landing roll sometimes on the runway, sometimes off the runway.
This happens 90 % of the time.
Try it.

Then imagine how this would look if somebody tried to use this data to analyze an accident.
