As you can see there is an offset from the runway during departure. This is due to navigational errors associated with the device involved, called an Inertial Navigation System or INS.

Color Coding is recognized as:
Green P9-P0 is night before engine off
Red M1 is at the Terminal
Yellow M2 is backed out and start of Taxi
Red M3 is Radio Alt 3 Feet, 1st indication of lift off
(Update to color coding - It appears the Red M1 is the engine start after pushback, and the yellow M2 is forward movement into a turn for start of taxi. Click here for more details.)
After adjusting a Lat/Long offset based on drift prone to the navigational equipment utilized, the positional data has the aircraft departing a gate further east of Gate D26 and on the north side of the Concourse.
I have been informed that LaBtop is a bit upset (an understatement) that i suspended him for trolling and is now on a rampage at ATS attacking our work and me personally.
So let me clarify for the readers.
At no time have i claimed the data shows the aircraft departing gate D9 or 11 as LaBtop is now deceptively asserting. Tume made that claim in his original post.

It's not completely clear what a number the gate has - we have there two gates:
9 and 11.
LT insert : Peers keep you working on the top of your personal performance curve. You see peers as your enemies.
And please react on the meat of the matter, not on a detail like which exact northern gate. You know Tume used Gate D9 or D11 in his OP, and you used his whole thread to keep hammering on a northern departure gate.
But to let you sleep an hour more, yes, I admit you did not use an exact northern gate in your front page article.
By the way, tezzajw, I know Balsamo did not claim the northern Gate D9 or D11 , that was Jan Zelman in his opening post here in his thread, where Balsamo "forgot" to give the link to, in his above quote.
But he keeps holding on to a NORTHERN departure gate, which is totally wrong. And he keeps saying that you can't find a precise gate. You can however easily.
This is that thread by Jan Zelman/tume :
9/11gate, "AA77" FDR numerology
It is solely Balsamo in that whole thread, who keeps after the opening post by Jan, hammering on an, in his opinion, surely northern departure gate, even when Jan shows him later that he changed his mind to a southern gate, and also told him that the lat/long data registered by the INS/IRS are much preciser than Farmer, Stutt and Balsamo all thought.
Their error margins are nullified by the way, when you have multiple reference points for that data on the taxi lanes and runways corners. Then they suddenly become very precise data points after you have corrected for drift by shifting the WHOLE complete arrival or departure pattern over the HD map you use of Dulles Airport.
Jan stated that the error margin in his eyes was less than 30 meters, but he forgot that when you have another set of much more precise reference points to compare to, that error margin doesn't count anymore, it becomes a new, much smaller combined error margin of the two data sets.
One lat/long plotting map, and one VERY precise HD Google map of Dulles Airport. The error margin is then in fact nullified, for all of our needs.
If you want to check later, if Balsamo and friends again will silently edit or move or delete whole or partly posts or threads, you, the reader, should also save the now 3 full pages and 1 last page with 2 posts of that thread to your hard disk.
I thought tezzajw, that you of all, would know the drill by now.
Balsamo keeps hammering on him not mentioning the number of the northern gate Jan Zelman at first interpreted, and which I mentioned, since Balsamo copied all Zelman's information to construct his own front page piece, where he holds on so illogically to a northern gate.
Instead of addressing the real meat I addressed, in this case his illogical holding on to some northern departure gate, and his wrongly constructed "proof" for that.
He has for sure seen his own picture with his own plotted 3000+ feet shifted data points in it, where I just introduced him to simple geometry and trigonometry, by simply using perpendicular but identical length lines connecting the corner points in his plotted data line, written by me in his own picture, to show him what exactly he did wrong.
But that he will not ever address, or I or you or any other member here will press him to answer to us, why he does not address my very basic real proof, based in fact on his own published figures, that the departure route, after adjusting by me on his own picture, originated at Gate D18 (or Gate D20 as Jan Zelman thought)
Balsamo managed to scare off two of his members in that thread from their rightful later conclusion that it was not a northern, but a southern departure gate where the false-FDR plane departed from.
In fact also the thread starter, Jan Zelman / tumetuestumefaisdubien. Who tried to correct his initial erratic northern gate conclusion from his opening post.
You, Balsamo, did build your main page article based on his findings, and you did not correct to this date, your wrong conclusion that the plane from this false-FDR, departed from a NORTHERN gate, thus you did not double check Jan's method.
And you give his top-notch research a very bad press.
Jan, at that time, still thought that the arrival and the departure gate were identical, he did not notice yet, at the time of his opening post that the plane was towed overnight around the D-Concourse building, around GATE D26 and towed further eastwards, to GATE D18. And that during that time the engines were off, thus also the INS/IRS system, and that the new lat/long position was only registered when the next morning on 9/11, the engines were started. Because only then the INS/IRS system is also restarted.
By the way, the real Flight 77 always arrived AND departed from the same gate, GATE D26 at the far western end of the D-Concourse. For many years already.
Matter of fact, if you look at the diagram i provided on our original article at our website, the picture clearly shows Gate D19 or 21, not D9 or 11 as LaBtop is deceptively claiming i said...
LT insert : Your picture also clearly shows that the south going part of your overlayed wrong plotting, is not following the right taxi lane, but cuts through the grass. Thus it has to be moved sidewards, to the right in your picture, to be able to follow it's rightful taxi lane. And there was your conclusion of a northern departure gate based on.
On top of that, you used all wrong dimensions in all your overlays, which made them all about 40 yards too big to overlay.
Remember, you and your "peers" made fun of my remark, that you used non-identical pictures to overlay on eachother? Those childish types also posted "funny" pictures to whip up the crowd into an anti-LT frenzy. That kind of behavior which does not get corrected by admin or mod; no, even worse, is actively supported by them, is the reason why your forum is quickly degenerating into a snake pit, just as the 9/11 JREF forum is already for years.
(IMG: pilotsfor911truth.org... )
Furthermore, I never claimed any specific gate for the data as it was too hard to discern an exact gate, we have only claimed in our article that the aircraft did not push from gate D26, which apparently, LaBTop agrees with, but instead, elects to attack us using deception.
LT insert : No, I do not attack the plural "us" you use deceptively, I attack your obnoxious behavior showing you can't even admit a simple error only you in person made, and then you forced that same error upon three of your intelligent members to follow through, and tried the same trick on me, an intelligent "Troll" and made a huge mistake in doing so.
I abhor that kind of behavior, since it is the main reason that our society is going down the drain at increasing speed. It's the same obnoxious behavior shown by politicians, military brass, CEO's from many internationally operating conglomerates, and especially dishonest scientists who sold out to the capitalistic tricks used by those conglomerates to push through their money making "research" orders, no matter what effects they have on humanity, only profit prevails.
As I have explained elsewhere on this forum, given that the terminal is rather narrow and there is a margin for error in IRS coordinates (I believe it's around 50 feet give or take, after being initialized and aligned, IIRC)... it's impossible to determine north or south push, but the more likely push is from the north due to airline procedure as i have explained in this thread and elsewhere and agreed upon by other verified aviation professionals.
A North push is from gate D21 or D19, a south push is from D18 or D16.
What is for certain, is that the data does not and cannot line up with a D26 push, this, once again, makes the govt story false.
LT insert : Well, I have news for you then, and you should have known that already before you posted your "answer" to me, when you would have read my thread here with an open mind.
We can easily determine the EXACT arrival and departure positions at the gates at Dulles, with an error margin not greater than the possible error margin in the provided latitude and longitude numbers, combined with the exactitude from the offered by Google Earth high definition pictures of Dulles Airport.
That's my next question for you. Do you know how to determine that error margin from the given coordinates and Google Earth charts? And then tell us how damn small in fact that margin is?
I'll help you a tiny bit, since you showed already now two times (1. "too hard to discern an exact gate" 2. "it's impossible to determine north or south push" ) that you can't do it yourself if not pressed by "trolling" peers :
Go look up the value the last digit of the latitude and longitude in that FDR is expressed in.
And the exactness of the present day Dulles Airport Google Earth HD maps.
Hope this helps clear up any confusion caused by an obvious disgruntled and deceptive troll named LaBTop, who clearly does not have any experience whatsoever in aviation related topics.

and it ends here with LaBTop refusing to provide evidence for his claims time and time again.
Balsamo, post # 40 :
But even then, you still have the aircraft in the grass on Taxi and thrashing the south wall of Concourse Delta.
Also, (and repeated for perhaps the 5th time), aircraft do not start their engines until after pushback.
How can Warren Stutt claim to have a position at the gate, and lat/long plots during pushback, if the FDR doesnt start to record until engines are started?
Answer, he doesnt.

Balsamo shows here that he does not understand what "mainer" tries to explain to him, that if a plane is towed from a northern gate, it will move northwards, and not southwards as depicted in his own decoded plotting.
He agrees ""it does seem a bit reversed when considering the description"", and then waves it away with a moot error margin argument.
Again, I can not find a logical explanation for his totally strange behavior against AeroHead, Jan Zelman, and myself, when we all three come to the same right conclusion, Gate D18 (or Gate D20 by Jan) as the real departure gate.
Even Mainer attentions him on his error, but he obnoxiously holds on to his self proclaimed erroneous conclusion of a northern gate.
Why he keeps hammering that it must be a northern gate, I wonder why.
What's his reason to NOT admitting he made a serious error, correct his main page paper, and generously apologize to his members?

Seemed to have been a big deal to you since you repeatedly accused Balsamo of making that claim and was your whole foundation for attacking Balsamo and Pilots For 9/11 Truth, Your attacks are unfounded, unnecessary, and wrong. You were obviously blinded by your hatred for P4T due to your suspension, that you couldn't even get your simple facts straight. How can anyone believe anything else you say over bona fide and verified pilots? Why would they?

A North push is from gate D21 or D19, a south push is from D18 or D16.

Balsamo, the owner of P49/11T, says the fake flight departed at a northern gate, D9 or D11.
Originally posted by tezzajw
Can you quote where Rob Balsamo stated that the gate was D9 or D11? I've read his clarification on the P4T forum and he refutes your claim that he stated Gate D9 or Gate D11 was the definite departure point.
Originally posted by TigerTracks
I've read through the work, and it was never stated by anyone other than Jan Zelman (aka tumetuestumefaisdubien) that the push may have been from D9 or D11. This is why Labtop was unable to source Balsamo making such a statement and could only offer a pic from the Pilots For 911 Truth article, which in fact doesn't even line up to the claims made by Labtop of Balsamo.

I apologize for not painstakingly re-checking that small fact.
He offers this picture to continue his attacks on our analysis.
But, he conveniently omits shifting the red color coded Lat/Long position M1 to the terminal as he did the M2 yellow position.
A close up....
This is why he omitted it...
I wonder if LaBTop ever gets tired of getting caught it his blatant deceptions.... lol
As I said before....

A North push is from gate D21 or D19, a south push is from D18 or D16.
LaBTop is throwing a fit because we show a North push. But if LaBTop would be honest, even with himself, he too would see what we have analyzed.
Seems he still has a stick up his ass because i suspended him. Poor guy... lol
Keep up the good work LaBTop... you're doing a great job of discrediting yourself with your obvious deceptive behavior.
Seems he still has a stick up his ass because i suspended him. Poor guy... lol
Balsamo : I agree it does seem a bit reversed when considering the description, but there could be a small error in matters of feet when getting to such resolution.
