Interesting thing to note. According to the NTSB report, the FO had a total of 2334 flying hours with 820 in the MD-10.

2334 total ??? That seems awefully low. But stranger things have happened.

Very informative.....well, not really. Glad to hear they got it all sorted out though, whatever it was that could be useful to others to take away from this incident, that we might not know about....

Interesting thing to note is that could have represented 1300 hours of fighter time, which could equate to 7 years of flying, prior to getting hired into the right seat of the Mad Dog. Not saying that's the way it is, just that although 2300 hours does sound like low time, it could easily be real quality time over a good number of years.

Perhaps FDXFLYR could share some of the details of how this incident was reconciled in his training.

But it's an entirely different type of flying.........altogether!

They told us what happened, how it happened and what to do about it. Unless you fly the MD-10-10, it's of little concern to you. It's no big secret but it's also something I wouldn't talk about on a public forum without permission, and I ain't gonna ask.

Well there you have it, World Guy, it was something specific to the MD-10-10, and does not apply in any way to the MD-11.

Or said pilot was single seat tactical jet, and was hired as an engineer where no flight time was logged, then transitioned later to the right seat of said airframe. Or possibly said pilot is heavy/tanker/transport guard/reserve, got hired at FedEx, but maybe went on AD and didn't fly much, if at all, then went back to their civilian job.

But yeah, agreeing with you, I wouldn't rate the flight time as "low" if those scenarios were indeed said pilots background.
