Flightplan (2005)

Corrected entry: When the plane is about to land there is a lot of snow at the airport, but by the time it has landed, the snow is completely gone.

Correction: Needs to be more specific to be worthwhile, we mostly see the runway and surrounding areas which would of, course, be cleared of snow on a regular basis.

Flightplan (2005)

Corrected entry: In order to complete the hijacker's plan, he tells that all flight crew should deboard as soon as they land in the Newfoundland airport. Only he (Carson) and the woman (Kyle) are to remain on board. Still, the flight attendant (Stephanie) with whom he is performing the plan remains on board. How could she stay on board without anyone from the crew finding it odd?

Correction: She took advantage of the large number of people to hide. Her colleagues may have noticed once they were off the plane but they couldn't do anything about and if everything had gone to plan she would be in a plane leaving the country.

Flightplan (2005)

Corrected entry: Near the end of the film, while the airliner is approaching Goose Bay, a hijacker tells the plane's captain that they will specifically require a Gulfstream III to make their escape. When the airliner lands a short time later, lo and behold, there is a Gulfstream III sitting on the tarmac. How were the authorities able to immediately procure that exact type of long-range, high-dollar business jet at one of the most remotely located airports in North America? And if the hijackers wanted to make it appear that they were trying to escape to another country, why be so specific about what kind of airplane they want? Any one of a number of business jets, small airliners, or even Canadian military aircraft could make the trip.

Correction: That the hijackers chose this specific model is not a movie mistake, that they were able to find on at short notice is stretching credibility but is also not a mistake. Finding a specific model of aircraft at an airport is always a possibility.
