Capt. Wolfgang Raebiger is truly an image of a seasoned professional in charge of a big machine as a MD-11. He is very cool and a real pro. Excellent flying sir.
Hi everyone, on this flight there was a Captain, a Senior First Officer, a First Officer and the person who filmed the movie present in the cockpit. Kind regards, your Lufthansa Cargo Team
A smooth landing is not necessarily a safe landing. Especially in a wet or snowy environment, it is much safer and thus better to slam the aircraft down a bit, as to create grip for the tires as early as possible to make braking easier. This landing wasn't a particularly hard one, it was just fine for the conditions. Also _very_ far from structural damage to the aircraft.
Sehr gutes Video, aber ich wusste gar nicht, dass Bodo Wartke auch Pilot ist :) ( 6:10 Min. , Rechte Seite des Cockpits. Amazing video, but I did not know that Bodo Wartke also a Pilot :) ( 6:10 Min. ,right side of the Cockpit)
Weird considering the McDonnell-Douglas MD-11F is a 2 man crew plane...the only thing I can imagine was the crew a (out-bound) brought crew b for the in-bound flight.
Sometimes cargo flights travel the load master, flight engineer or mechanic, and this is a flight of many hours, therefore, travel 2 extra crews to replace
