Bouncing and nose diving into the runway usually happens in the first 20 hrs of learning to fly not after thousands of hours of flying time. I hear the MD11 has a very small elevator so requires agressive movement to not let the nose rise with spoiler deployment but the crew knew that. Why did the nose get high enough to lift off again on the first bounce?
