Coordinates

Hi @Abductive: regarding these two edits [1] [2], why do you consider these coordinates to be incorrect? The information comes from the official Interstate Aviation Committee website and they don't seem to be off.[3] Aviationwikiflight (talk) 15:48, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The crash occurred only 900 m from the planned flight path and from the last radar sighting. It was said to be 20 km west of Nikolayevka. The coordinates given by the source are 79.5 km north of Nikolayevka, and are weirdly unbalanced, indicating a fumble-fingered data entry. Abductive (reasoning) 15:54, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
