Other mistake: When the stricken airliner is on final approach for landing, both pilots stare intently out the windscreen, never so much as glancing down at the flight instruments. In an instrument landing the pilot must look continuously at the instruments until the copilot reports that the runway is in sight, as that is the only way he can follow the controller's instructions.
Other mistake: In the opening credits, character actor Andreas Malandrinos has his last name (as it happened not infrequently throughout his career) misspelled as "Melandrinos" (00:02:55)
