Please explain why the Pentagon Building Performance Report is shown when this report says absolutely nothing about the lightpoles.
Good catch. Well it don't mention poles, but the trajectory and altitude outlined therein do mandate pole clippage on the way... Also Lagasse's 'only official source' fails to mention the poles I believe and in fact shows an approach south of the Citgo and along the light pole path. I guess Lagasse never read that...

The animation mentioned above is neither official nor shows anything really relevant about the general flight path.

Regarding your OP
The NTSB animation is essentially accurate except the rotated final map that - coincidentally - puts it north of the Citgo.
video - full flight

If you'd like any help reading these drop me a PM and I'll share what I know or help tip you where to find more info.

Peace.
