The L1011 was a wonderful aircraft to fly, well ahead of it`s time, the best autoflight panel I have ever used, and all in all a great airplane.
They are getting few and far now though, and I do not see them very often anywhere.
I guess the only feature I was not too keen on was the DLC, ( direct lift control) the spoilers modulated 7 degrees up and down at flap 33 selection to keep the profile with lift and drag,
but I think it flew better with it de-activated, less nose bobbing, but many disagree!!
anyway, great airplane to fly!
