Plane

Other mistake: Just when the tower clears 119 to take off, it shows the PFD and MFD screens. On PFD it shows air speed 250 knots and altitude 40000 feet which could only be happened when cruising in air. Also, on MFD it shows ground speed 250, and no flight path displayed. (00:09:00)

Factual error: They request an altitude of 40,000ft, however the service ceiling for an MD80 used in the film is 37,000ft. (00:09:00)
