Yes, it was an MD-10. To my knowledge, the MD-10 is a cockpit and systems monitoring upgrade (no FE on MD-10’s) only. No structural upgrade.
The one large difference in failure modes between this (MEM) and the EWR MD-11 accident….in MEM the RH gear catastrophically failed – the unit broke into six pieces. In EWR, the spar failed (from loads transmitted through the gear). Touchdown of the RH main (MEM) was estimated to occur in the area of 14.5 fps (870 FPM). And in a crab.
The factual docket released does not seem to address (or I haven’t found it yet) whether the gear should have failed in this scenario (exceeded design limits, etc.) – that will be saved for the final report.
