MD-11 Runway Excursion in Mumbai
Episode Synopsis
A FedEx McDonnell Douglas MD-11 freighter overruns the runway while landing at Mumbai in poor weather ahead of an approaching cyclone. Petter Hörnfeldt uses the overrun to explain the MD-11's demanding landing characteristics and how a delayed touchdown on a wet runway can eat up the distance a heavy jet needs to stop.
