Apparently, opening an inspection hatch on the engine cowl (cover) causes the entire panel to be ripped off by the airflow, but in a later overhead shot, the cowl is still in place.
"Altitude sickness" doesn't just happen at 20000ft. Time of useful consciousness decreases with altitude starting at about 10000ft. For her to lose consciousness in 10 seconds they would have to be about 45000ft. This is 25000ft higher than the service ceiling of the plane and higher than the planes engine would even run at.
Magnetising a needle to act as a compass in the middle of a thunderstorm in severe turbulence will not work.
If you are flying North and need to turn West, you turn left, not right.
They made WAGs about which direction they were going anyway.

The London taxi she Sara gets in to is an electric black cab, but the sound of a diesel cab has been added.
GippsAero GA-8 Airvan has 349 liters tank capacity. A few bottles of rum added to the tank, will not make any significantly visible change to the tank capacity gauges.
When Jackson was hanging outside the plane trying to get in, Sara offers to help by telling him to reach and grab her hand. Jackson, who weighs 50+ more pounds than Sara, gets pulled by her who is not supported by anything inside the plane, and he safely gets inside. In reality, she would have been pulled out of the plane after he grabs her hand.

The fuel gauges are calibrated in quantity, not percent (as read by the actors.)
They didn't know that, so they estimated percentage by the position of the needle.

Sarah takes a cigarette from the pack, puts it in her mouth and it is already lit.
The part showing her lighting the cigarette was cut.

Sara and Jackson would not have waited 20 seconds into a nosedive to radio SOS. This would have been done immediately upon a a serious equipment failure which could threaten the flight.
If they were experienced, or even trained, that's probably what they would have done. It took them those 20 seconds to think of it.

5:41 - Isuzu truck being driven along left lane of coast road by Sara, making right-hand turn. Closer shot shows truck now on the other side of the road, left-hand drive, number plate on left, spare tire on right. Rest of shots; right-hand drive, spare on left, number plate on right.
