Wow this was a weird bit of flying. The PF reminds of a trick a captain showed me many years ago when just before touchdown, he slammed the yoke forward! Scared the crap out of me but the airplane made a smooth touchdown.
So this idiot at Fedex does the same thing. Look at the dfdr data where he pushes the yoke forward at 4 feet RA.
How the hell is anyone supposed to recover from that? he tries desperately moving the yoke fore and aft but doesn't know what to do and PIO blamo. Piss poor flying. Lucky he didn't take out any innocent bystanders.
And yes I flew and loved the md-11. It had nice handling qualities, landed very smoothly. Only thing I disliked was the 158 knot ref speeds. Took a lot of runway even on a good day.
