Hello, I was planning a flight for FSX, I was cheking the real schedule to see route and altittude, it was CYUL to CYEG. But I noted something strange on the flight plan tracked by flightaware, it includes a deviation of planned route, with a sudden descent to 8,000 ft (from FL 360), and then going back to FL 360: [flightaware.com/live/flight/ACA … G/tracklog](https://flightaware.com/live/flight/ACA179/history/20140530/1210Z/CYUL/CYEG/tracklog) Does anybody know the reason? Was there an error with the flight tracker? Or was the reason a problem inflight? ---

Bad data. Look at the Lat/Long positions while it supposedly descended. Waaay off original track. ---

One asks, "can an A320 sustain a climb rate of 10,000 fpm? Probably a GIGO diversion ---

Bad data for sure. Take a look at a span of six minutes. A is at FL36-- B is at FL08-- and C is back again at FL36.
