Landing safe.

A very clear recording but only slightly more exciting than watching paint dry.
By the way, the DC-10 dumps fuel at 2,500 lbs per minute.
Well, I must say this recording was for me fascinating, and of course I accept that for those in the profession it's all in a day's work. For those of us stuck on the ground this was an insight into the procedures for a ..shall we say.. a non-routine arrival.
For those on dial-up, be aware it's a big file (20meg) and the clip has a running time of 19 minutes.

JW411 that fuel dump rate appears a little low only 1100 kgs per minute :{
1100kg = 2425lb, not down by much.
