"The limits of Expertise. rethinking pilot error and the causes of accidents" by Dismukes, Bermen and loukopoulos (2007)
i got it from amazon.co.uk
covers 19 accidents including the FedEx Newark 97 event.
they certainly show how the MD-11 is a unique bird for landing.
sorry if this is deemed thread drift, but i would appreciate any one telling me about this book earlier.
cheers;
