Posted: Tue Dec 13, 2005 8:28 amIt flies a little different, due to the placement of the engines.
Like during approach for example: if you retard the throttles the nose will first pitch up and the (negative)V/S will actually decrease a little bit but shortly thereafter will increase again.
So because it flies like that, it's imperative not to make an excessive flare, since it's very easy to tailstrike this lady.
This was told to me by a DC9 captain :)

I have no idea... I saw something about that in the support page and they are supposed to fix that.
