You have MADE NO POINT and you have not supported the assertion that the FAA radar data supports the animation used in another thread.
(LT insert : i]The "NORAD" anim or the NTSB animation? Showing a NoC flight path for Flight AA77. )
The last radar return from AA 77 on it's approach to the Pentagon was from DCA and the return was approximately abeam the Sheraton Hotel on it's known flight path toward the Pentagon. That return supports the FDR RO2 (readout) in terms of position. There are NO OTHER RADAR RETURNS from AA 77 to support the animation.
Pilots for 911 Truth say the last second of FDR data - 9:37:44 - does not fit the damage of impact - its pitch isn't right, its wing bank, and especially its altitude. This is true. However one point they missed is the last second also has the wrong coordinates - a point about six seconds prior to impact, well over a mile back, where that altitude fits and pitch and bank are irrelevant, having plenty of time to change and fit the impact pattern.

I've seen no good reason this much would be missing due to the crash. One poster here mentioned a crash where the black box stopped I think 20 sec early, but turns out the tail section with FDR fell off before impact - I'd guess about 20 sec earlier.
"A 'primary' only target is received as a reflection of radar energy only. A 'secondary' or 'beacon' only target is recorded as a response of the aircraft's transponder to interrogation by the [primary] radar system. A 'reinforced' target is recorded by the radar system in lieu of a primary or secondary target when transponder information is coincident with and reinforces a reflection of radar energy. Generally, secondary and reinforced targets are referred to as "secondary" targets." [ www.ntsb.gov... ]
the FAA Pinnacle PDF last data entry for GOPHER06 on page 2 from the FAA communications (page 6/6 in the Pinnacle PDF), when the C-130 was instructed to make a 60° right turn to the northwest.
We will find a FAA Pinnacle PDF clocked UTC time of 13:40:40 (09:40:40 ET) for instructing this turn, from heading 270° to 330°.
Albert Hemphill, a BMDO (Ballistic Missile Defense Organization) staff member watched from the Navy Annex:
""As I stood there, I instinctively ducked at the extremely loud roar and whine of a jet engine spooling up. Immediately, the large silver cylinder of an aircraft appeared in my window, coming over my right shoulder as I faced the Westside of the Pentagon directly towards the heliport. The aircraft, looking to be either a 757 or Airbus, seemed to come directly over the annex, as if it had been following Columbia Pike - an Arlington road leading to Pentagon.
The aircraft was moving fast, at what I could only estimate as between 250 to 300 knots.
All in all, I probably only had the aircraft in my field of view for approximately 3 seconds.
The aircraft was at a sharp downward angle of attack, on a direct course for the Pentagon. It was "clean", in as much as, there were no flaps applied and no apparent landing gear deployed. He was slightly left wing down as he appeared in my line of sight, as if he'd just "jinked" to avoid something. As he crossed Route 110 he appeared to level his wings, making a slight right wing slow adjustment as he impacted low on the Westside of the building to the right of the helo, tower and fire vehicle around corridor 5.""

""As he was coming towards me it just seemed like he was tilting the aircraft to his right.
Ret. Army Col. Mitch Mitchell, CBS military consultant, was bringing his wife back from National Airport on Interstate 395 towards the Pentagon:
""Just as we got even with the Pentagon, I looked out to the front and saw, coming straight down the road at us, a huge jet plane clearly with American Airlines written on it, and it looked like it was coming in to hit us. I told my wife, 'It's going to hit the Pentagon.' It crossed about 100 feet in front of us and at about 20 feet altitude and we watched it go in. It struck the Pentagon, and there was no indication whatever that it was doing anything other than performing a direct attack on that building. The landing gear was up. There were no flaps down and it looked like a deadly missile on the final phase of its mission into the building.""
""We saw what I estimate to be about the last seven seconds of the flight. It was a straight-in flight, angled slightly down , and there was--there was no intent to turn or to maneuver in any way. It was headed straight for its target and we were helpless to do anything about it but watch.""

All conventional aircraft will naturally yaw in the opposite direction of a roll if no rudder input is given. The effect is called Adverse Yaw. To counter this, the appropriate amount of rudder input must be given in the same direction of a roll in order to accomplish a clean, efficient turn. This is known as a Coordinated Turn.
Naturally occurring adverse yaw as well as excessive opposite yaw that is input by the pilot during a roll simply causes the aircraft to go into a rather inefficient sideslip. It does not cause a loss of control.

Levi Stephens:
Interviewed and confirmed by CIT.
I saw this [plane] come flying over the Navy Annex.
CIT interviewed him personally.
He said repeatedly that it was on the "right" of the station or that it would be on his "left" if he was at the station facing the Pentagon.
He further confirmed by saying that it was on the "Arlington Cemetery" side of the gas station.
Surely he would have mentioned the plane coming straight at him as you have demonstrated?
Look how close he was to the lightpoles and didn´t mention the plane anywhere NEAR this area.

Think that you're shooting yourself in the foot with that weird flight path, snowcrash.
I suggest you try another one, just to avoid you becoming as (in)famous as poor 'broken sticks'!
At least it's good to see that you finally agree that the lamp poles must have been staged -
Cheers and merry christmas

Beat me to it djeminy.
He's posted the same self debunking nonsense at 911forums.
He was also over the moon when "Achimspok" (who openly went back on this same ridiculous "North of Columbia Pike path" at P4T because it would have required up to 72º of bank - link available) posted this gif:

...yet claimed that Stutt's data was "reliable".
There were NO left banks recorded on Stutt's "data". Why do these guys keep contradicting themselves?

The difference between NoC and SoC is one or two very small or light pilot inputs.
I have overdone myself again (smile), the arc must be more shallow, with a bigger radius.
But you get the idea, I hope.
The aircraft was essentially right over the top of me and the outer portion of the FOB (flight path parallel the outer edge of the FOB).
