imho, pitch handling on landing can be tricky - depending on CG, Weight, spoiler & reverse deployment.
Every once in a while this may produce a suprising pitch up moment. Add to this the fact that the MD11 is -imho- imbalanced in the sense that the pitch axis is starkly more sensitive than roll.
Nothing a regular MD11 Pilot shouldn't be able to handle though.
