DC9
Hi medc9pilot.
Back in the 80s I was a DC-9 Base and Route training captain.
I don’t believe, as ‘bafanguy’, that the -9 is a bit of a dinosaur. In fact, the aircraft was an ideal aircraft to wean folks off turboprops into the pure jet world……once you got used to the acceleration and ROC.
The systems are very straight forward and logical and should give an experienced FO/DEC no problem at all. The only real anomoly that I remember was the problem of only being able to de-ice the wings and tail separately. This, to the unaware, could cause a bit of discomfort on a very cold approach in blizzard conditions unless you anticipated the situation and made sure the tailplane was clear for the last few hundred feet of the approach.
This has also reminded me of the requirement for bleeds on/power reduction affecting take-off performance criteria in a similar situation, usually no problem in such low temperatures.
Enjoy it. It’s a lovely aeroplane.
