December 3, 200619 yr Look how hard the captain pushs the nose down on landing, or is that just his Superman impression!http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...8403750&q=md-11Paul
December 3, 200619 yr Commercial Member My goodness, that must be the worst camera handling I've ever seen in a flight deck video, I can barely recognise anything...I can't really see how much nose down the captain really pushed, but yes seems to be quite a bit indeed.It is normal for the MD-11 to keep the nose up after touchdown if you do nothing, in some cases it even tends to go up further as soon as the spoilers extend. It is not a problem though if you are aware of it, however it is pretty unique throughout the airliner world. So yes you are expected to push the nose down after landing...Regards,Markus Markus Burkhard
