I can’t belive all those people survived
omg 4:57
it is heart touching that the baby died
@youurr damn who ever marked thisdown
dc-10′s stack up very well against other airliners over the span of their lifetime (’71-88). overall they were very reliable and most are now freight only
loli know it hurt
NO STUFF!!!!!! IT HURT DUMMY
I take my hat off to this pilot
This was back in ’89
Thank Goodness for the flight characteristics induced by using Assymetrical Thrust, Only an crude form of control as the narrator says but it saved the lives of over half onboard, Crew are heroes to have actually landed the jet at all in that condition!!!
design minimum
(undumpable) fuel level. The dump
level float switches also turn off their
respective transfer pump when the fuel
level in each tank reaches the design
minimum fuel level for dumping. All
usable fuel in the auxiliary tanks can be
dumped. Dumping may be terminated at
any time by moving the FUEL DUMP
control switch to CLOSE.
(from the DC-10 operations manual)
Dumping is
controlled by two shutoff valves (one in
each wing), and dump level float switches
in the main tanks. The fuel dump rate is
approximately 5800 pounds per minute
and will vary with fuel loading and attitude.
Fuel dumping is initiated by
turning on all pumps, opening the crossfeed
valves and moving the FUEL DUMP
control switch to OPEN. With the FUEL
DUMP control switch at OPEN, the
dump level float switches close all
crossfeed valves when the fuel level in
any main tank reaches the…
I wonder why they didnt dump some fuel to minimize fire…
The MD-11 has the system not meeting all up in the tail. To avoid the same thing happening again.
No you are not a nerd. SbcKool is just jealous that there are people smarter than him. Yes 3 systems are considered enough. they each operate different things on the plane. The MD-11 has the system not meeting all up in the tail. To avoid the same thing happening again.
Yea I asked my dad about that and he told me. Never knew that. You learn something every day. =)
@twitsru
thats what I always kept thinking “drain out all the fuel before the collision with terrain” but in my guess, the fuel dump might be slow im just guessing
Bullshit.
Gravity extension is only meant for situations likes that of course.
@kurtithetraceur The landing gear can be extended by the use of gravity. Most if not all commercial airliners can lower the gear using this method.
Why is the landing gear down? I guess landing gear isn’t controlled with Hydraulics anymore right? (My dad flew the 10 and he flies the MD-11 too. He is also trained on the 747-400, but he dosn’t fly it much)
im not really a nerd cos if you watch video 3 of 3 it explains it all.. just quoting man lol
I BET IT HURT!!!
nerrdddddd
there are 3 hydraulic systems, all three were severed in this accident because all three ran right beside eachother in the tail and when the compressor disc broke out of the engine it just went straight through them… i know its no conselation but 3 systems is considered enough redundancy
