We have a plane that, when the flight data recorder 'ceased' to record data, was several hundred feet above the impact point on the building, for whatever reason, and ironically, someone on the other side of this argument has asserted that this 'discrepancy' is based solely on blind encoder lag and no other reason. I can tell you from many tests I have conducted on altitude encoder devices, running them from below sea level all the way up to altitude and back, to check for hysteresis in the readings and correct for it, I have never seen an encoder not instantaneously reflect something very very close to reality.
Did I ever split the response down to the milli-second range and look at it that way? To tell the truth, no, I did not, but having seen it with my own eyeballs, I can tell you that the barometric altimeter or pressure altimeter on my test rig, and the digital readout from the encoded altimeter data, did not lead or lag each other by an eyeball discernable amount in time.
The flight data recorder, at the moment of impact, should have more or less reflected the true aircraft altitude when it hit the wall of the Pentagon, and then gone completely 'wrong' in the 200 or 300 or 400 milliseconds of time it took for the recorder to fully lose physical and electrical power integrity due to the impact. Many prior crashes which have been faithfully recorded by FDR's in the past, show an uncanny trend of surviving and doing data recording beyond the first major impact with the ground in crash events. Though there are a incidents of failures outside this realm of final airplane reality, far more often than not, the moment of impact plus some number of milliseconds, up to nearly a quarter or even half a second in time beyond that, have been recorded in flight data recorders.
The aneroid element or piezo element that the encoder used to provide the altitude signal to the recorder, would have been far closer to the penetration point altitude than was presented by the N.T.S.B. info.
What I am asserting here is that for this airplane to be flying at 460 knots and at a 4,000+ feet per minute descent all the way to the building, it could not possibly have, for the last several hundred feet, managed to
magically 'levelled off' and then shear those light poles off in the fashion and heights at which they were sheared off at. One of those portions of the N.T.S.B. recreation is flat 'wrong' in that you cannot have both the 460 knot speed and the four thousand feet per minute descent, and still manage to take out those light poles at the synthetic ramp height that they were sheared off at.
So what gives then? You tell me. The mere fact that the FDR data doesn't match the recreation isn't the most damning evidence, but what is so very damning, is that today, six years later, nobody knows for sure how to explain the huge discrepancy between a unit that should have continued stowing data in the CPM module for almost 200 milliseconds or more after impact, and how that same unit had quit recording data several hundred feet above the impact point, and why exactly that data shows an airplane at 460 knots, 4000+ feet per minute descent rate, somehow managing to magically go horizontally stable for hundreds of yards before hitting the building it hit, well beyond the ability of a human pilot to carry out without leaving engines in the dirt or on the sides of freeway ramps or overpasses before smashing into a wall of the Pentagon.

Actually the evidence of the flight carrier being 00000 and the flight number being 00000 shows amply enough that there was a conspiracy of people "Breathing Together" to get a bench testing FDR into the public domain containing evidence that attempts to portray the flight of the aircraft to the pentagon.

Hummm... No answer. Wait I know! He was killed and ground into dust upon impact. Poor guy. At least he didn't feel a thing.
As the Q Group appears to be out in full force, terrified someone of importance is actually going to read this information, and as they laugh at me for falling into their little virus trap, the last laugh will not be theirs. Of that much I am sure.

As a layperson, I find Warren Stutt credible in that he was able to actually decode the flight data recorder frames whereas others were not. So I would give more weight to his assertions than the one cited in your OP.

For the record...I've still yet to meet another pilot with time on heavy jets who believes the government version of what went into the Pentagon. Period. From 3,500hr guys all the way up to your +20Khrs pilots who when they talk about flying airliners, you need to STFU, pull your head in, except you know # and your opinion is based on absolutely nothing of any note or value. If you don't like what they're saying... tough #. Who the hell do all you people think you are anyway??!!

Read that Jim. Read that Rob. Read that Dennis, Craig, Aldo, Richard, Steven, Judy, and every one of you. Bonez? Get your buns back in here. Read that all of you. And think about it. That is my plea, to you. Find a way, whatever it takes.

No, I haven't been absent. Just haven't really felt the need to post. I do wonder however, when the OP will admit that Mr Cimino does say that the actual flight number should be present in the data.
Now, to the rest of your post. Yes, I did say that the header of the FDR files normally has the aircraft serial number and the recorder number. I could have also said that about one forth of the time, again on our jets, the serial numbers are no longer there....in their place...a bunch of zeroes.

Dennis Cimino never said that. The uploader of the Youtube video made that claim. You would know this if you actually watched the video or read anything that Dennis Cimino has claimed.

Yeah, but wait a minute, what does Viper's knowledge of F-16's have to do with 757-223's anyways? Isn't this a bit of apples to oranges? Or am I missing something?
