Factual error: During the flashback to the F-4 flight emergency, the visuals are inconsistent with the dialogue: they are approaching runway 21, which has a runway heading of 205 to 214, and the visuals before the dialogue shows them lined up with the runway. The dialogue of Sully's back seater is "Heading 020, five miles out, sir." This is 170° away from the runway heading, almost the opposite direction. (00:41:31)

Other mistake: During the F-4 emergency flashback, Nellis Tower has cleared them to land on Runway 21, however the runway is marked 22. (00:40:57 - 00:42:05)
