7500

Carlo Kitzlinger, who played the captain of the plane, is actually a real pilot. He flew for Lufthansa Airlines for many years. He assisted Joseph Gordon-Levitt with becoming a pilot for the role.

The ground operator reports that the zero fuel weight, which is the weight of the plane with no fuel, is 56.8 Tons, while during the departure briefing Tobias states that the total weight is 54.8 Tons. According to the 7.2 Tons of fuel it should have been at least 64.0 Tons. Also during landing the thrust levers are moved manually while the AutoThrust is engaged. Just technicalities, the rest conforms outstandingly to reality.

At the very end of the credits is a section called "THANKS TO OUR EXTRAS" that lists the names of each of the 121 extras.
