tail-power limited when slow and in the flare.

:confused: Still doing some head scratching over this statement. Two MD-11 initials (FedEx and an ACMI) and I’m pretty sure I never heard those 9 words in that order said during either one.

My guess is this was Delta speak for something related to LSAS.

When I went through Initial in 2001, it was too long. The good news was whatever they were doing years earlier that created a high percentage of failures had been changed. It does seem that MD11 training requires constant revision and changes. I do think they believe that they have put the dumber portion of our crew force in the Mad Dog. How else can you explain our group being given a One, Two, Three on how to land an airplane?? :eek: Not going to share the document here, but for those who haven't seen it, I'll share number three, "don't forget to flare"..... Thanks for the advice!!

When the majority of new MD pilots didn’t flare in their last airplane...they may need the advice!

Incredibly good and had him very well prepared to fly the line.

You mean they didn't have to teach themselves the airplane at home on time off?

Delta ground schools have never won any awards.

Especially seeing day one is a review and day two is the systems val. There is no more ground school at DAL its memory stick unless they have changed things in the last 10 months.

Learning Objectives Document is basically self taught.
