WHY MD-11 IS ONE OF THE MOST UNFORGIVING JETS... TO LAND The NTSB identified the MD-11’s high landing speed as a major factor behind its hard-landing accident history. Higher approach speeds mean a very narrow flare window, increasing the risk of a late or ineffective flare. Many MD-11 hard landings involved bounced touchdowns and porpoising. In this aircraft, excessive vertical loads could overstress the main landing gear and wing spar — in extreme cases leading to structural failure and rollover. By 2012, the MD-11 had the highest hard-landing rate among large Western-built airliners: 5.63 events per million flight cycles. Contributing factors cited by the NTSB: • High landing speed → tight flare timing • Cockpit far ahead of the main gear → reduced touchdown awareness • Automatic thrust reduction in the flare → delayed corrections during high sink rates • Long-haul cargo ops → fewer landings, reduced proficiency This old video is of an Alitalia MD-11 with a very rough landing into Kai Tak.show more

😳 A Russian pilot who saved 167 people is... being ordered to pay for damage to the aircraft In September 2023, Airbus A320 captain Sergey Belov made an emergency landing in a field after a hydraulic system failure. The aircraft failed to reach an alternate airport due to excessive fuel consumption, but all 167 passengers and crew members survived. At first, the pilots were hailed as heroes. Later, they were quietly fired, and Belov was made the main defendant and hit with a $1.3 million lawsuit. Belov’s defense argues that the damage assessment was carried out with serious violations and that the calculations are not supported by proper documentation.show more

Reportedly, the GRU offered $3 million cash and citizenship to the pilot. The operative claimed he was not trained to land the aircraft, and he was offered an in person instruction during a flight over the Black Sea. The Russian FSB claims the plan was to assassinate the operative while conducting the training flight, and the 2nd pilot would fly the aircraft into Ukraine.

On April 26, 2021, a Cessna 402C was conducting... multi-engine training at Hyannis, Massachusetts, when a simulated engine failure led to a real partial loss of power during a go-around.The trainee followed memory items and set the left engine auxiliary boost pump to high, which likely flooded the engine with excess fuel. During the go-around, the airplane yawed left, airspeed dropped below safe single-engine climb speed, and the instructor had to take control.The aircraft landed hard on the grass beside the runway, and the landing gear collapsed. Both pilots were uninjured. The NTSB determined the boost pump position during the simulated failure led to the power loss. 📸runthisshittshow more
