No. Look closely at the clip. The plane's nose is tilted up. The tilt is obscured because of the tilt of the camera angle, but it can be seen in relation to the roof at the beginning of that shot.
Robert Zemeckis is a pilot as well as a geek, so I'm sure the film will be as accurate as a good story and effects technology alllows.
