Code:
I hear the MD11 has a very small elevator so requires agressive movement to not let the nose rise with spoiler deployment
Er... can anyone explain why would the nose rise when the spoiler is deployed.
When spoilers are deployed, lift is destroyed, weight is dumped onto the wheels, brakes applied, a/c sticks to the ground. Unless, of course if the pilot raises the pitch. Or is it something to with the wing of MD11 too far aft compared to other a/cs or the third engine.
