Hi there, @casablanca, minimum requirement to fly MD11 for LH is 1000 hours on jet transport aircraft! So nobody with LH without jettime! Yes, the variety is extremly large, there are landings with 140 to at 45 degrees celsius at sealevel, there are landings at Mex 7700 ft, 20degrees celsius with 220 to, or at KJA(Krasnoyarsk) at -45 degrees. So it is a lot of work for the training departement, to get everybody prepared for the expected and unexpected! The plane has to be treated good, than it is good to you, Greets MD11f
