What's the truth about the MD11?
I have heard from numerous sources that the MD11 is a difficult plane to fly and some have theorised that the relatively high accident rate of the type (8 or 9 write-offs?) may be the result of this. Most of this comes from people who have never flown the type, so I was wondering if any current or former MD11 pilots could share their opinion? Are they totally different to a DC10?
