AIRCRAFT HISTORY
The MD-11’s history began in 1968, the year the Apollo space program was getting
under way towards the moon, the Vietnam war was raging and hippies were doing
anything they could to scandalize the country. The DC-10, a large three engine turbofan
wide body aircraft, intended for medium- to long-range flights, entered production at
the Douglas plant in Long Beach, California. First deliveries began in 1971 and continued
until 1989. Capable of carrying from 250 to 380 passengers and a flight crew of three,
(two pilots and a flight engineer) a total of 386 commercial DC-10 aircraft were
delivered to 71 airline and carrier companies along with 60 KC-10 tanker /cargo models
built for the United States Air Force.
About the Douglas Aircraft Company - Founded in 1920 by Donald W. Douglas,
the Douglas Aircraft Company built more than 45,000 aircraft including the
classic DC-3 twin-engine piston transport (which served as the C-47 during World
War II) and the larger DC-6 and DC-7 four engine piston transports. In the years
following the war, Douglas was the leading American maker of commercial
aircraft. Responding to the arrival of the Boeing 707 in the 1950s, Douglas
developed the DC-8 - a successful four-engine transport capable of carrying up
to 220 people, which is still in use today.
During the mid-1960s, Douglas encountered financial challenges that led to its
merger with the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation of St. Louis in 1967 while the
DC-10 was still in the design stage. Douglas was the commercial component of
that venture, while McDonnell focused more on military aircraft and helicopters
(most famously the F-4 Phantom fighter). Merged, the two companies became
known as McDonnell-Douglas Aircraft Corporation. This entity survived for over
thirty years, until its merger with Boeing in 1997.
The DC-10 went through six models – the initial version, the Series 10, was designed for
high-capacity domestic routes of up to 3,330 nm. The Series 15 was designed for “hot
and high” operations, while the Series 20 (which only flew in prototype form) was
designed for long-range operations. The Series 30 and 40 aircraft were the true longrange
workhorses, with lengthened wings, an additional centre landing gear and range
of up to 5,000 nm in the Series 40.

Aircraft)

TURBOFAN ENGINES ARRIVE
The 11,000 lbs of thrust produced by each of the four Pratt & Whitney JT3C waterinjected
turbojet engines on the early DC-8s and 707s helped launch the passenger jet
age. However, these engines had some significant drawbacks – low thrust, excessive
noise and large quantities of smoke (especially with water injection!)
Turbofan engines solved these problems by adding an additional “fan” in front of the
engine core to blow cooler air around the core. This added thrust, and greatly decreased
the amount of noise generated at high power levels. Initial turbofan jet engines included
the P&W JT3D, at 18,000 lbs thrust, which powered the 707-320 and DC-8 Series 50/60
and the Rolls-Royce Conway, installed on the DC-8 Series 40 and 707-436. However, the
huge wide-bodied aircraft of the late 1960s needed something with even more thrust.
For the DC-10 Series 10, the General Electric CF6-6 was developed, with a single engine
generating 40,000 lbs (or the equivalent of all four JT3Cs on a 707-120!), or 120,000 lbs
total. The Series 20 was designed around the Pratt & Whitney JT9D 45,000 lb turbofan,
the same engine that powered the 747 and early 767 models. As with most other
airlines, later versions had more powerful engines. The Series 30 used the 51,000 lb GE
CF6-50, and the Series 40 was powered by the JT9D, rated at 53,000 lbs.
In closing, the descendants of the CF6 deserve mention. GE and SNECMA moteurs of
France later jointly developed the CFM56, a high bypass turbofan engine. These 18,500
to 34,000 lbs thrust engines were initially designed for the United States Air Force’s KC-
135 tanker re-engine program, replacing JT3C and JT3D engines. They were used in a
similar fashion in the “Series 70” of the DC-8, and as original equipment on modern
aircraft such as the Boeing 737 (300 series onwards), Airbus A319/A320/A321, as well
as the original A340-200.

THE MD-11 TAKES OFF
As McDonnell-Douglas went into the design study of Series 50 and then the Series 60
DC-10, they eventually decided to launch a much more advanced aircraft based on the
DC-10. The DC-10-60 eventually became known as the MD-100, the MD-XXX and finally
the MD-11.
The MD-11 program was launched on December 30th, 1986, with the first delivery to
Finnair taking place on December 7th, 1990. It brought a lot of improvements over the
DC-10, including the following:
􀂃 A stretched fuselage (6.68 meters longer, approximately 20 feet)
􀂃 Longer wing
􀂃 Winglets for better stability
􀂃 Refined airfoils on wing and tail plane
􀂃 More powerful engines
􀂃 Strong composite parts on flaps, etc.
􀂃 First all digital glass cockpit in a commercial aircraft
􀂃 Two member flight crew, instead of three
􀂃 Larger fuel capacity, 2,000 gal more
􀂃 Longer range, up to 8,225 nm in ER version
􀂃 First complete ‘fly-by-wire’ flight capabilities
􀂃 Option of Propulsion Controlled Aircraft PCA

The new MD-11 was large enough to fly up to 410 passengers, making it a serious
competitor to the Boeing 747/777, and the Airbus A330/A340, the world’s largest
commercial aircraft. The MD-11 is the largest wide body tri-jet ever built, and quite
possibly the last one, since subsequent large aircraft designs have used either two or
four engines.
The advanced, fully computerized, six-cathode ray tube display digital flight deck, also
called the “glass cockpit”, was now used to take over most of the flight engineers job.
Monitoring engine performance, it has wind shear detection & guidance devices, dual
flight management systems to conserve fuel and dual autopilots with fail operational
capability. With these improvements, the flight crew is now reduced to the Captain and
First Officer. The MD-11 was the first commercial aircraft to truly “fly – by – wire” from
takeoff to landing (United States to Germany) without a pilot’s hands on the controls.
Another notable improvement was the concept of a Propulsion Controlled Aircraft, or
PCA. Developed by NASA and tested on an MD-11 in 1995, this revolutionary system
allowed the safe landing of the aircraft with the hydraulics switched off. PCA uses the
aircraft’s autopilot together with programming in the flight control computers, and
operates the aircraft solely by increasing or decreasing engine thrust. Increasing thrust
in all engines allows the plane to climb, decreasing allows descent, and alternating
thrust in left or right engines independently, allows for turns. If a plane has a major
mishap, losing its hydraulics for flaps, ailerons, rudder, or elevators, it can still
potentially make a safe landing. This is not as far-fetched as it may seem, as one two
separate occasions disabled DC-10 aircraft were landed based on manual control of
engine thrust alone, most famously in Sioux City, Iowa in 1989. Unfortunately, it is
expensive, and no MD-11 customer asked for its planes to be retrofitted with the PCA
system.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
Pilots who love a career flying challenge are in love with the MD-11. Carriers think a lot
of the MD-11, too. Lufthansa Cargo said the MD-11F (freighter version) is the most
economical and environmentally friendly airplane on the market. It requires 25% less
fuel per ton/kilometer than the Boeing 747-200F, and has much lower emission rates. It
is a quiet jet, with noise levels well below the strictest sound emission regulations. The
enlarged hatch and semi-automatic loading system get high marks, making it possible to
load and unload cargo faster. The plane soon became popular with freight carriers.
The MD-11 temporarily suffered a setback when discovered it did not meet advertised
payload/range specifications. These problems were solved when McDonnell-Douglas
enacted a performance improvement program (PIP) in order to reduce drag, weight,
and fuel consumption. PIP was very successful, with performance improved by 8%, and
fuel burn improvements were up, by up to 3%. However by the time the program was
completed, the MD-11 was facing competition from comparable long-range airliners,
such as the Boeing 777. Because of the additional cost of maintaining and operating a
third engine, customers started to lean towards the 777.
BOEING BUYS MCDONNELL-DOUGLAS IN 1997
After Boeing purchased McDonnell-Douglas in 1997, production on the MD-11 was
halted three years later. It was predicted by McDonnell-Douglas that well over 300 units
would be built, when 195 total units actually were. Subsequently, it sold to 22 carriers.
Federal Express purchased the most with 31 freighter versions, Delta Air Lines tied for
second place with Varig, each having 15, and Swissair bought 14. Japan Airlines and
KLM also bought 10. Many serve on long trans-oceanic routes.
DELTA SAYS GOODBYE TO THE MD-11
Wednesday, January the 1st 2004 was a sad day for many of us. This was the last day
an MD-11 would wear the Delta colors on a scheduled flight. N807DE wearing the OC
scheme landed at Atlanta from Narita, it was received with honor by the Atlanta
Hartsfield Fire Fighters unit, spraying gallons of water over his shinny fuselage.
After that many Delta MD-11´s where translated to the dessert awaiting a new
exploiter. Luckily some of them where recently bought by FedEx (Federal Express).
Although these planes wont wear the Delta scheme again we are happy to know they
are going to continue flying. We will see them with a different scheme but we will know
they once flew for Delta.

FUEL LOADING
Delta Virtual Airlines’ MD-11 has five fuel tanks, left aux, left, center, right, and right
aux. Both the left and right aux tanks have a capacity of 49,574 lbs of fuel. Both left and
right tanks have a capacity of 40,853 Lbs. The center tank holds 77,041 Lbs, for a total
of 257,895 Lbs of fuel. With a full load of fuel the MD-11 is capable of flying over 8,000
nautical miles. One gallon of Jet A fuel weighs approximately 6.70 lbs.
􀂃 Range: 7,200 NM
􀂃 Fuel Burn Rate Factor: 31.6 lbs/NM
􀂃 Fuel Base Amount: 40,000 lbs
􀂃 Fuel Loading Formula: (Fuel Base Amount + (Distance * Fuel Burn
Factor)) Calculation of this formula gives you the correct amount of fuel for
your trip.
􀂃 As an example, for a 2000 nautical mile flight leg the Fuel Loading Formula
would be (40,000 lbs + (2000NM x 31.6)) = 103,200 lbs. Please note that
this does not take into account the 45 minute reserve required; approximately
15,000 lbs.
􀂃 To load fuel into your aircraft, select Aircraft, then Fuel and place the correct
fuel amounts in the correct tanks.
Look at three typical flight examples:
􀂃 KMCO (Orlando, Florida) to KATL (Atlanta, Georgia) 450 nm would require
approximately 54,000 lbs of fuel.
􀂃 KATL to EGLW (London-Gatwick, United Kingdom) (NAT route) 4,000 nm would
require approximately 166,000 lbs of fuel.
􀂃 KLAX (Los Angeles, California) to NRT (Tokyo-Narita, Japan) (PACOT route)
5,200 nm would require approximately 204,000 lbs of fuel.
Captains ordering fuel for Delta Virtual Airlines flights should remember that more fuel
equates into more drag, requiring more power. An unnecessary overabundance of fuel
will only cost the company money. Fuel should be kept as close to the trip fuel required
as possible. With that said, it is always the pilot's responsibility to ensure that
there is enough legal fuel for the flight. Any incident that was the result of miscalculating
the fuel load will always be the fault and sole responsibility of that flights
captain and crew. When in doubt, take more.
Delta Virtual Airlines aircraft shall always carry a minimum fuel load for the trip to the
destination, and at least 60 min reserve in cruise at low altitude (Fuel Base amount) plus
a 45 min reserve for diversion to the designated alternate landing site.
Any trip estimations that you see in this manual are for calm winds and standard outside
air temperatures. Deviation from standard winds or temperatures will result in different
actual performance for your aircraft. When flying over long bodies of water, remember
that in the event of pressurization problem or an engine failure that requires descent to
14,000 feet MSL for passenger comfort, the fuel burn for the aircraft will increase
significantly and may leave you short of your initial destination. Plan accordingly!
McDonnell-Douglas MD-11 Operating Manual
Page 9
TIP: This equation doesn’t consider wind. This is of special importance when crossing
the ocean. If you fly Atlanta-Gatwick with the fuel indicated by the equation you will
reach destination with enough fuel to fly to your alternate. By contrast, flying Gatwick –
Atlanta, you will be having strong head winds, and this equation will surely leave you
short on fuel. This is a quick way to crosscheck the fuel quantity. At cruise, the average
fuel consumption of the iFDG MD-11 is 2,800 Kg/h per engine. This is approximately
6,200lbs. The total average is 18,600 Lbs/h. Now you should go to the timetable and
check the estimated flying time and multiply the hours by 18,600. That leaves you with
a rough estimate for you flight. The following procedure should only be done when
flying long flights with strong head winds.
Example:
Frankfurt to Atlanta. Approximately 10 hours. 4053 miles.
The equation: (40,000 + (4053 * 31.6)) = 168,075 lbs.
Now, we multiply our average fuel consumption by the timetable flight length.
18,600 * 10 = 186,000 lbs
In this situation you can see that there is a big difference between the values, if you
would have loaded the fuel given by the first equation, you may have been short. Other
than this situation the equation works fine, the problem is when you have a long flight
with strong head winds. These winds will make your fuel consumption increase greatly.

DELTA VIRTUAL AIRLINES STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
These procedures are designed so that today's crews can work together effectively and
safely as well as allowing some standardization of procedures for the company. By
standardizing procedures the company can budget flights better financially as flights will
always be the same or at least somewhat similar.
For the crews, this means that the company can schedule pilots together that have
never flown together before and still maintain a safe operation. For Delta Virtual Airlines,
these procedures are for the benefit of the pilots using this manual. By flying using
these procedures pilots will be able to make better use of the manual and also operate
the aircraft in a similar fashion company wide.
NOTE: In any circumstance where company procedure conflicts with manufacturer’s
recommended operation, company procedure will take precedence unless a safety factor
is involved. Discretion is the responsibility of the Captain.
The following procedures are intended for use with the Alain Capt panel found in the
Delta Virtual Airlines McDonnell-Douglas MD-11 fleet installer.

When taxiing with the MD-11 keep in mind that the nose wheel is way behind your eye’s
position, this means that if you want to make a 90º turn and turn so as to keep the
yellow line below your head, it’s possible that your main gear wheels end up in the
grass. To prevent this, wait until the yellow line is behind your head reference point to
start the turn. For steep turns in the ground don’t exceed 10 knots.

NOTES FROM THE CHIEF PILOT
If you have flown a few large planes on flight simulator, you have probably flown some
of the Boeing jets. If you want to step up the challenge to your piloting skills, then the
MD-11 will do. Real world pilots who fly the MD-11 say it is a big satisfaction to fly it and
land it properly. It is said to be an unforgiving plane compared to some other
commercial aircraft, and there is little time to recover on a bad landing. Do the same
maneuvers you did with the other aircraft, like turn too hard an angle, too much flap on
approach, or forget you have speed brakes on full as you enter a turn, and the MD-11
will start to fall. It does not quite “float” like the 747 or 777. It takes off fast, lands fast
and stalls more easily.
Weight onboard, mainly how much fuel you have loaded, makes a big difference in the
way the plane climbs, turns, and handles on takeoff (and landing too – if you are
carrying a lot of weight on landing). The difference between empty weight and
maximum weight can be more than 300,000 lbs – more than the aircraft’s own weight.
Simulator aircraft designers tend also to increase the weight already in the Flight
Simulator aircraft.cfg file, in order to simulate a big load of passengers and luggage. Use
your judgment, the flap and speed specs for takeoff and landing are guides, not rules.
Runway length for takeoffs and landings can differ greatly depending on aircraft weight.
Suggested runway length for takeoff with a full fuel load is 12,000 feet, but near empty
weight you can use an 8,000-foot runway. Takeoff and landing speeds can vary as much
as 25 knots or more, depending on weight and weather / wind conditions.
