Personally I have a lot of time in MD11 pax aircraft with max landing weights at 458000 lbs and also in Freighter configuration at 491500 lbs.
I think most MD11 pilots will happily land this at max weight vs doing a freighter ferry flight at say 280,000 lbs. With all the mass and momentum it is a pretty true airplane although you definitely have higher speeds and sink rates. When light it is a handful and much harder to get a good landing.
I dont claim to be an aerodynamic expert but for whatever reason the position of spoilers in relation to wing the plane (DC-10 as well) has a noticeable pitch up on landing.....Most of the time we are programed to try and push over and get the nose down, which is the exact opposite of what should be done in an actual bounce.
Like any aircraft after a bounce maintain somewhat of the same landing attitude and possibly add power to control descent if needed.
Most of the MD-11 serious accidents all originated from a bounce---thereafter the wing was unloaded with a large push over....the airplane doesnt seem to like that.
