"In reality, the industry delivered its own verdict, because the MD-11 has
disappeared from the aircraft market. This was the real condemnation,"
Lettich was quoted as saying from his home in Italy.
Right, and the market decided that the DC-10 was superior to the L-1011.
So let me get this right: he's near max landing weight, 30 feet AGL, 4 degree pitch up, sink rate is 12 fps and dropping, reported crosswinds are at the limit for type on a dry runway, and shifting. So he reverses the elevator from ten degrees up to eight down, while the winds shift and he ratchets the sink rate up to 18fps to hit the runway.
And this is supposed to be all the aircraft's fault? vabbe'
