Not even close...THIS is the sort of nonsense that destroys the "truth pilots" crediblity[sic].
... from a real airline pilot's perspective and knowledge
Here's the full report on Egypt Air 990, as well:
www.ntsb.gov...
I suggest people take the time to read those thoroughly...
The results of the Safety Board's examination of CVR, FDR, radar, airplane maintenance history, wreckage, trajectory study, and debris field information were not consistent with any portion of the airplane (including any part of the longitudinal flight controls) separating throughout the initial dive and subsequent climb to about 25,000 feet mean sea level (msl). It is apparent that the left engine and some small pieces of wreckage separated from the airplane at some point before water impact because they were located in the western debris field about 1,200 feet from the eastern debris field. Although no radar or FDR data indicated exactly when (at what altitude) the separation occurred, on the basis of aerodynamic evidence and the proximity of the two debris fields, it is apparent that the airplane remained intact until sometime during its final descent
Pilots For 9/11 Truth have further studied if a 767 could continue controlled flight at such reported speeds. According to the NTSB, EA990 wreckage was found in two distinct debris fields, indicating in-flight structural failure which has been determined to have occurred a few seconds after recording peak speed. Based on EA990, it is impossible for the alleged United 175 to have continued controlled flight at more than 85 knots over the speed which failed the structure of EA990.

EA 990 started its final decent 53 seconds after peak speed. That is not a few seconds. During that 53 seconds EA 990 executed a 9000 ft engine off altitude gain. The actual aircraft break up was probably closer to 2 minutes after peak speed.
At 0150:08, as the airplane passed through about 30,800 feet msl, the airplane exceeded its maximum operating airspeed (0.86 Mach), and the Master Warning alarm sounded. The maximum rate of descent recorded during the dive was about 39,000 fpm at 0150:19, as the airplane descended through about 24,600 feet msl. At 0150:23, the airspeed reached its peak calculated value of 0.99 Mach, as the airplane descended through about 22,200 feet msl.
No secondary radar returns were received from the accident airplane after the last data were recorded by the FDR at 0150:36.64.
Seven primary radar returns from the airplane were recorded during the second dive; the altitude estimates from these returns are subject to potentially large errors, which introduces significant uncertainty
Seven primary radar returns from the airplane were recorded during the second dive; the altitude estimates from these returns are subject to potentially large errors, which introduces significant uncertainty into the performance calculations during the second dive. However, the data indicate that the airplane impacted the ocean about 0152:30, with an average descent rate during the second dive of about 20,000 fpm.
Which makes this statement from PFT an outright lie.

Not only was it in a "tight turn", it was pulling out from a dive, at 500+ knots. It was traveling 85 knots more, and pulling more G's, than EA990, a 767 which suffered in flight structural failure at 425 KEAS.
Now check the data. I've given you the links numerous times.

"11.2 Gs Pullout", at the Pentagon?
"Flight Deck Door" fiasco, again AAL 77.
AND, this continued spamming of a mashed-up V-G diagram, merely fouind[sic] online, and the number scale (for airspeeds) inserted to "match" the Boeing 767.
Of course, that is designed only (along with snide and not-so-veiled insults) to fool those who are NOT pilots...
along with that aforementioned pattern of insults. Demonstrates a certain childishness, it appears.
For clarity --- there is a REASON that the "V-G diagram" applies to certain category of fixed wing airplanes, and is TOO SIMPLIFIED for Transport Category machines.
Further, it is a "red herring", in any case, since it relates to not only speed, but also G FORCES....again, my points on that aspect completely ignored/brushed aside.

On the initial pitchover, the rate of descent increased to 9,600 feet per minute at 7½ degrees nose down, then slowed to 5,300 feet per minute as the airspeed stabilized at 353 knots. The time from start of the descent to level-off at 11,000 feet was just 3 minutes. Very impressive, particularly since we flew the maneuver by interfacing with automation, rather than manually.

You have posted my 500+ 2 or 3 times now as if it was some kind of revelation, but like anybody else it is a guess with the logic that at some speed things would be too much. Now if I posted that the plane would fly tight turns at 650 knots would you have reposted it too many times?
From you post I see that radar etc has a record of this plane doing all that the official report says it did, and you are saying both are wrong, so how is the ATC data/radar wrong, or disputed?

I missed the earlier discussion, so glad you pulled out that quote.
Have a quibble with the "tight turn" reference....I mean, WE ALL CAN SEE the video, right? Someone calculate the bank angle....I estimate, just from viewing, at no more than ~35 degrees (and that's being generous, for the "Truth" crowd's benefit).
Now, further....we can surely determine a rate of descent, and the subsquent[sic] leveling off, and realize that it DID NOT achieve any "excesive"[sic] g forces, in such a maneuver.
( I notice, also, the continued mis-use of "EAS". The "equivalent" airspeed concept is primarily for engineers to use, in their computations in the design/flight testing phases. "Calibrated" or "indicated" airspeed is more commonly used by REAL pilots.... )

Does radar positive identify an aircraft as a standard 767?
No, it only tracks a target based on what has been put into a flight plan.

What? A radar "only tracks a target based on what has been put into a flight plan"?
Sure you want to stick by that?
A flight plan has absolutely nothing to do with the waves a radar sends out and receives back and the data that is interpreted from that radar return - in the case of AA11 and UAL 175, raw radar data returns since the transponders had been set to stand-by mode.
Another keeper from Tiffany!

If you produce just one verified pilot willing to put his name to a claim that it is "easy" to control an aircraft at Vmo+150, Va+220, pulling G's, for a supposed 'pilot' with zero time in type and had less experience than one who couldn't control a 172 at 65 knots, I will be surprised.

Interesting post, but where did you get the idea that thousands of people in our government would be needed to pull off a false flag. Many debunkers on here are convinced that 19 mystery men did 911.
I did a thread sometime ago showing only a handful of specialist in aviation, and specialist using un-paten engineered military chemical wireless demolition such as super na-nothermite engineered by the military industrial industry, in weapons manufacturing.
These things are very possible but to even suggest that thousands of people would have to be involved to pull off 911, is only a way to silence and ridicule the Truthers for making such a statement such as inside job.

Some company(s) had to make all the needed materials (many people)l, it had to be moved and placed into the towers (over a very long period of time)...many people.
