You missed conclusion #4.[/b]
That conclusion does not say the plane remains in one spot - only that the conveyor matches the measerued airspeed and groundspeed of the plane

Thus if the plane is on the conveyor and not moving in relation to the ground (Groundspeed thus =0 mph) then the conveyor is moving at 0 mph...

Based on that conclusion if the conveyor has a speed, the plane must be moving in relation to the ground.

Since the plane is moving in relation to the ground, it will fly based on Conclusion #2 (airspeed = groundspeed)

The assumption that the plane remains stationary to one spot on the ground is faulty and incorrect
