A lot of respect to the pilots who make their living flying the MD11. That thing has to come in so damn hard and fast because of its design and they make it look like butter.
Not true. There is absolutely no requirement at all to put it down hard. In fact, a 1.1G landing was always preferred. That's what you call a greaser, and everybody wanted to do it.
For some odd reason! The MD-11 is just one of my favourite planes. It’s loud, iconic and does its job as a freighter and passenger plane! Also HD how come you are doing morning uploads! Great footage!
Its one of my favourites too! Love the tri-jets and maybe because the MD-11s are one of the only classic tri-jets still flying that we love them! Giving morning uploads a try, seeing whether it sparks for interest!
You've posted this 6 minutes ago. You have my visualization and my like. Thanks indeed! This video makes me smile =D Nowadays, it's the only way to see these beauties flying.
This is some really good video! I can tell you really put a lot of effort into it. I personally flew every single one of the FedEx planes in this video many, many times and so it was super nice to see them all again. The MD-11, by the way, is a very nice flying plane and isn't dangerous at all if you handle it correctly. Keep up the great video work!
@@HDMelbourneAviation I love the MD-11 landing! May I feature this one in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. All the best to you!
It's a damn pity this jet isn't still in commercial service. I still feel it has A LOT of potential if it were just updated with bigger engines. And a more modern cockpit and interior. Still very viable commercial jet in my opinion.
Planes today: Look ... the winglet is bigger. Look ... it has a "racoon mask" .... come on .... No one screams caracter like a trijet and from this group, the most radical is the DC10 / MD-11
And with a very poor safety record that tallies with this. I was on one coming into Amsterdam on a severely windy day, it was hair-raising, and I didn’t know a thing about its reputation at the time. Which was fortunate.
I remeber long ago in Anchorage Ak a Boeing 707 Northwest touched and bounced. The crew asked tower what there touch down time was and the tower asked them which time. Did not go well..
Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that the MD-11 has a higher landing speed than most and is a little tricky to land, there has been at least 1 fatal crash on landing. It is also one ugly plane the Tristar was the best looking trijet, excellent video as always thanks for sharing.
There are a couple of accidents of MD-11 due to landing, L-1011 Tristar was the most advanced aircraft at it's time, it could perform take-offs and landings without pilot touching the controls, Even at low visibilities. Other planes just had to divert to other airports. But that plane was a financial failure. MD-11, was a larger modified DC-10, It was difficult to land, It was an over-weight underperformer and did not reach it's range and fuel targets.
@@lavanyachella6515 yes you are correct I did fly to the Paris airshow on a TriStar and the crew performed a full automated landing. The engine's that powered the TriStar almost caused the demise of RR, the British government had to bail them out.
Nothing more than a standard PIO situation. Although these bounces were no doubt embarrassing, they were not particularly hard and did no damage to the plane.

Skylease let his airplane get too slow there before the first flare, I saw the outcome already. Second, he should have advanced throttles for bounce recovery, this would kick the spoilers back down.
This landing was not pretty, but was not a disaster by any measure. Then, only a go-around would have stopped the bouncing because the pilot put himself into a very standard PIO situation, which is also embarrassing.
@@PLANEMANIA747 Cargo companies like cargolux are purchasing more and more 747-8F. No need to be worried! The demand for cargo are also keeping the queen of the skies alive!
Who is the they? I’m guessing you are talking about the FAA. If I recall correctly the rest of the world continued to fly them. Not the first or last time the FAA exercised poor judgement.
Also It needs to land at higher speeds due to control surfaces being reduced to save fuel. A great machine indeed, how many jets have been junked and this keep going.
@@PeterNGloor I know because I flew the DC-10, MD-10, and the MD-11 full time for 17 years, including every single one of the FedEx planes you see in this video. None of them is hard to land, and a smooth and soft landing is quite easy to do and always preferred both by the pilots and the company. Anybody who thinks the plane is difficult or who thinks that it's necessary to land it hard just simply does not know how to correctly fly the thing.
Anyone help the plane taking off at time 215 looks to me like a dc10 not md11 as I always told look at tail md11 has tiny tail dc10 is bigger is this an mdd11 or a dc10 please help somone

That high V-ref speed is a hallmark of the MD-11, at least it bounced safely instead of overturning.
Classy frame the MD-11 👍
Great compilation! Very lucky to get that bouncy landing at the start!

awesome seeing my favorite aircraft for 10 minutes. Thank you
Woow look at the "old lady" rocketing climb rate, just impressive. Three holler rock's
If the plane was not loaded too heavily, it would climb 6,000 fps for a while.
Beautiful video man!! thanks for the effort.

The PIC gets to log three landings on that flight. We all have days like that lol
Hahahahah!
Knew I'd find this comment in here....
That was quite bouncy indeed
Very bouncy!
not to disimilar to the fedx narita incident bounce that happened like 10 years ago
Are you kidding? The bouncing in that crash was wildly worse than anything in this video. These are not even close to that.
Wow cool is also a cargo plane and shipping service.
Thats right!
Can you try plane spotting in Memphis / KMEM??? I live there
"YOU BROKE MY EXPENSIVE COMPUTER!!!!"
Apparently one of the most tricky, unforgiving planes to land

It's neither tricky nor unforgiving if you handle it correctly. All planes are that way.

Also MD-11's landing speed is just 6 knots less than Concorde.
The DC 10 n MD 11s a true beauties
Still went back up even after spoilers deployed.
Id say that the md11 is the Bouncer ,achine
That looked like fun. I think the pilot did it for that reason, for that reason, for that reason...
Hahahaha! Sure did look fun!
no wonder me boxes are so dinged up
Hahahaha!
OverEazy lol 😂👍
That was Sky Lease Cargo that did the triple bounce, Fedex only did one.......😁
Correct!
What was the cause of the 3 bounce landing of the first plane
Nothing more than a standard PIO situation. Although these bounces were no doubt embarrassing, they were not particularly hard and did no damage to the plane.
Great video, at the start almost recreated Fed-Ex flight 80. (I liked my own comment.)
My father flies this aircraft i hope to flight this bird one day too
remember the fedex 80 and 40?
im pretty sure that my family and I won't be going to Japan at the end of this year
Hard to say with the current situation :(
And with a very poor safety record that tallies with this. I was on one coming into Amsterdam on a severely windy day, it was hair-raising, and I didn’t know a thing about it’s reputation at the time. Which was fortunate.
The MD11 and DC10 looks like a Maddog in the face!! Looks like a Pitbull so sexy!!
"YOU BROKE MY IPHONE!"
In 7:04 you can see the germans goverments a340 in the backround
Yeah
Surprised they didn't go around...these sort of landings have resulted in crashes on this particular type of aircraft!
Show 🇧🇷
GPWS be like :50-40-30-20-10.....50-40-30

0:02 I can’t tell if this is a simulator or real life
The first landing💀
The plane just wanted to continue flying
The MD-11s sure are excellent aircraft. The Kung Flu Virus Pandemic is forcing airlines to accelerate their retirement of their 747s.
Syed Hoque it's sad to see 747 retire
How Racist.
You should be ashamed of yourself for being so insolent against other races.
On a brighter note, the increase of freight demand is keeping these awesome MD-11s alive!

Atleast they keep the nose up.
Where are the chickens...
MD11 are quite hard to land cause sometimes you dont know if it landed
Everytime I look at a FedEx MD11, reminds me of Anthony Pino and Kevin Mosley. Mosley should have been landing :(
It’s funny they banned the Dc-10 but not the Md-11 😂
Who is the they? I’m guessing you are talking about the FAA. If I recall correctly the rest of the world continued to fly them. Not the first or last time the FAA exercised poor judgement.
MD-11's always bounce on landing, its a side effect of stretching the DC-10 design that was never really addressed.
Also It needs to land at higher speeds due to control surfaces being reduced to save fuel. A great machine indeed, how many jets have been junked and this keep going.
