...let me see...

yep MD 11 do not bounce. It brakes, gear, wing, pitches up, down, power, no power , auto throttle , nop, better not here, yep SOP says so mmm ups , what.. what ...GAME OVER. Why? Why SO MANY MD's? . ALL airplanes have the same scenarios, pilots( smart and stupid ones)at the controls, airports, weights , you name it and non of them have the same results the 11's. Less forgiven? That is not an affirmation any CAA or NTSB report would take as valid to justify and incident or accident.
Many have said that the development form DC 10 to MD11 felt short of expectations mainly because the horizontal stabilizer is to small or better said is the same as the one of the DC10. Was that the reason of the implementation of the augmentation, dont know what, system to make the airplane manageable for the pilot? Dunno. The fact is, ALL accidents are SO similar, structural brake up or loss of control during landing. What is the reason?
Hope someone finds out before we hear from a new one...
