Quantity:

The captain told accident investigators that he considered the airplane’s behavior after touchdown “shocking.” Information from the flight data recorder showed that the MD-11 first touched down at 2.1 g — 2.1 times standard gravitational acceleration. The airplane bounced about 4.7 ft (1.4 m) and touched down again at 3 g. It pitched up 13 degrees, and another touchdown on the main gear exceeded 4 g.

Citing more than a dozen hard landings or rollovers of Boeing McDonnell Douglas MD-11s in the past two decades, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is pressing for changes in training to help pilots better handle the airplane during landing. Linda Werfelman has the story.

Also in the July–August AeroSafety World: a study of rejected takeoffs; the often-misunderstood meaning of “V1”; proficiency-based, scenario-oriented training for flight attendants that mirrors concepts now applied to airline pilots; and much more.
