What really happened to Chuck Noland's plane

I watched the whole of "Titanic" without seeing a single
fact out of place. The director was stunningly compulsive.

I've read that one reason for that was that the enormous wealth of
documentation on Titanic would make it impossible for him to live in
peace if he screwed up on any of the details.

Of course, _Cast Away_ was made up, but I don't see any reason why a
made-up movie can't still be technically accurate, unless the whole plot
revolves around something implausible or impossible (but that isn't the
case here).
