Today's video was filmed by our master mechanic on jump-seat JAAN, landing with a heavy 58000kg or 128000lbs in our MADDOG, with a slight crosswind. Enjoy it and a penny for your thoughts..

Well worn MD. Flew them with MidEx back in the day. Moved on to bigger...but not better...aircraft. I'll always have a special place in my heart for them! Loved being able to pull 20deg deck angle departures and scoot out of low scud in no time. Although the 75's I flew were referred to as "muscle" jets...the MD's were no slouch. I'd happily jump into one of the seats for old times sake!

Nice to see the MD-80 cross wind landing at St.Maarten . Not many MD-80 still flying. It was a great airplane in it's generation. There was a very noticeable crosswind during final requiring alot of yoke movement for correction. Very nice landing in spite of the wind by the F/O!

WOW!!! As a former AA ground crew, I loved those MD-80's! The cool you could do with them is what's called a "Reverse push", thus, you didn't do a tug n bar, the pilots would reverse the engines at the gate as we directed! BTW- that F/O had hands of ICE!!! He was dead on with that approach and landing!!

@MartinNeep 12 жыл бұрын

In most airliners, moving the control wheel drives hydraulic actuators which deflect the ailerons. On the MD80 however, the control wheel is connected by a system of cables and pulleys to a 'servo tab'. This is a small control surface that is hinged at the trailing edge of the aileron. Deflection of the servo tab creates aerodynamic forces on the aileron which in turn push them up and down. The lack of a direct link results in 'sloppier' controls (for want of a better word).

@kj762aa 9 жыл бұрын

Matthew Wells its probably becuase of the control tabs. The yoke on the MD80 does not directly move the control surfaces, they instead move small control tabs on each control surface which then flies the aileron or elevators into position. However, in the event of a stall the elevators can be powered into the down position hydraulically. This is why you often see split elevator positions of a parked MD80.

you should know that the majority of landings nowadays is still done by the pilots (manual landing). autoland is only applied when it's really needed, e.g. when there's a lot of fog/rain and visibility is very low. btw Princess Juliana Airport doesn't have ILS, pilots always have to land 'by hand' there. what you see them do right before landing is adjusting the autopilot for a possible go-around

combination. the md80 at these max lnd weights tents to run out of trim. big deflections are needed (lower airspeeds) and sxm has a huge mountain right in front of the rwy. gives a choppy wind. and we're based on a small island so all parts are imported. we try to save on tires and brakes. looking for that smooth touchdown each n every time plus we let it roll till the end for the brakes(when traffic permits)

tnx! no not always do you need a lot of control input. depends on the wind, and of course weight of aircraft, runway etc. about adding power to smooth out the landing... well some people tend to do it. im not sure about doing that, if preferred to do "one" big flare input instead of adding the power. but again it all depends on the current situation. the aircraft when at max landing weight(or higher weights)tends to run out of elevator trim. hence maddog ! sometimes you just need to be agressive

Want to be a pilot huh ? Well........try this first. Tonight at midnight clear out your wardrobe & put a chair in it. Now sit in it & close the door & stay there for 15 hours. This will simulate a back of the clock night flight. Every half hour get your mom to complainingly bring you a cold cup of coffee & shine a flash light directly in your face then drop a blacksmiths anvil on the cockpit floor. This will simulate in flt crew service & flight attendants job dissatisfaction by opening & slamming the cockpit door with cabin lights on full bright. Then get your mom to light a ships flare & put it on the wardrobe shelf near your face. This will simulate the sun rising. Still interested ?

Don't listen to @@graemewilliams1308 , airline pilots are one of the coolest jobs to have in the world. They are one of the few well respected, well paid jobs that you don't have to sit in a cubicle or office for and do the same thing every day as the time passes. You get to see the world from above, doing things others only dream of. There's a reason they call it 'having your head in the clouds', its so amazing that to most people, it seems unattainable. Try looking up videos of people filling out insurance, bank loans, or writing wills for old people. You won't, but you can find videos of airline pilots, because THEY LOVE THEIR JOB!

@rgiaco777 13 жыл бұрын

@BusterBunker The MD-80, with its aerodynamically-driven ailerons and elevators, usually seems to be a bit more sluggish than jets with conventional hydraulic flight controls. This is due to the fact that when the pilot moves the control column, he or she is actually moving a control tab on each aileron, which in turn moves the ailerons through aerodynamic forces. This takes a bit of time.

@javacup912 11 жыл бұрын

cyba0, the entire DC9/MD-80 line had manual flight controls, except for the rudder. So basically the yoke was only connected to the control tabs, which then moved the elevators or aileron. There was always a lag in response, so that's why you see a lot of movement of the yoke. During landing on turbulence, it's possible to see the yoke go near full left/right. The F/O reaches back to trim which is also directly connected via control cable to the trim tabs. You had it right, "mechanical" plane.
