This is as cool as it gets! You're so lucky you got to take this video from the jumpseat. This is flying at its finest, nothing compared to airbus or flying computers today. Also, this looks like a Legacy American Airlines MD-82! Let's enjoy these bad boys while we can before they retire this September!
haha i now see its common to discuss instrument errors while on final on the MD80.. we had the same discussion about a difference in G/S signal between ADIs and HSIs, still a really fun and awesome aircraft to fly!
I miss the DC-9 and the MD-80. I also miss the DC-10. I read that, when McDonnell Douglas identified and fixed the problems with the DC-10, it became one of the safest planes in the skies. Kind of reminds me of the story of the Boeing 737 MAX. Was that American Airlines? I ask that because DFW is the biggest hub for American and American has been a big user of the DC-9 and the MD-80.
Its the speed brake deploying, the md 80 had a very noticeably loud mechanic for the speed brake lever! But you can hear a similar noise with the 737 when it touches down.
When horizontal stabilizer trim speed exceeds a pre-set point, an audible buzzer sounds. This is accompanied by by a woman's voice announcing "stabilizer motion." It is telling the pilots that the trim system is working, very hard, to keep the aircraft in a stable, trimmed state.
Thank you that explains one of the misterious cockpit sounds, the other one seems to sound constantly like if it was adjusting something, it doesn't say anything
@@fernando13e ...I flew this aircraft for over 18 years. If you can give me time stamp in the video (that the noise is obvious) I can probably tell you what it is.
@@Jesus-ey7cu They use their eyes, combined with their experience in setting the power needed to maintain the desired approach speed and make minor adjustments to pitch to maintain glidepath, within a proper descent rate. It's harder to describe than to do. You just keep the touchdown zone in a fixed position on the windscreen, maintain the correct speed, adjust for wind descent rate fluctuations, and the rest works itself out.
He’s visual. He’s on 17L which is an up slopping runway here in DFW so if you come on the GS you will be high on the papi’s and a true approach should be 1 white 3 red on 17L if you want to hit the touchdown zone. Nothing unsafe or unusual with that approach. Stop arm chair quarterbacking in the youtube comments.
@@SidestickPilot PAPI align with the glide slope where there is one. Otherwise glide paths my have different angles because of terrain or for high temperature operations for non-precision approaches. Landing on the touchdown markers is basic airmanship. You are using excuses to explain this poor flying.
@@EdOeuna Check the ILS chart for the ILS/LOC 17L. It states in notes the VGSI (PAPI’s) does not coincide with the ILS glide path. Also shows that the runways slopes upwards with a 50 foot elevation change between the beginning and end of RWY 17L.
2:15 when ur mom charges into your room and you quickly remove the incognito tabs
jesus christ lol
faster than that
I flew on many dc9's and md80's in my lifetime. I sure wish they were still flying. The hours and miles that were put on these aircraft is unreal.
Nice landing. How many jillions of miles (and passengers) have been flown by DC-9s and MD-80s over the years? Quite a history for an airliner.
and the safety record to back it up. One hell of a machine.
Great airliner!

Worked at SJC in the late 80's, there were MD 80's everywhere!
I have always wanted to fly the md-80s. I hate that they have to go. I always loved it.
ok Bernie sanders
Agreed, I wished I've flown on one.
that buzzer sound is just hhhh beautiful
Nice stabilized approach! Cheers from Houston, TX! 👍🏻
Mustve been a great flight. Skies look beautiful.

The approche was sooo smooth
Nice video!
Too bad I never got to fly one of these puppies.. my favorite plane...
Best. Aircraft. Ever.
I love the MD 80. I am not sure why there is so much cockpit noise though. What is it from?
Look at the nose. They're not as aerodynamic as many others. You get more noise from the wind but very little from the rear mounted engines.
Long Live the Mad Dog!

In November 12 1999 in md-80 uyawer airways landings on runway 12r and taxi to the gate 2
the pilots one in a long-sleeved shirt and the other in a short-sleeved shirt
cool
What is the squeaky sound at 1:39 when landing gear touches ground? I hear that sound on MDs and DC9s but don't know what it is.

@@flaps4038 Thank you very much for your answer! i've noticed that sound on 737s too.
Does anybody know what's causing the buzzing type sound that is found on all MD80 cockpit videos?
"Trim in motion" audible warning
When horizontal stabilizer trim speed exceeds a pre-set point, an audible buzzer sounds. This is accompanied by by a woman's voice announcing "stabilizer motion." It is telling the pilots that the trim system is working, very hard, to keep the aircraft in a stable, trimmed state.

@@DrSeuss-rt2ou from 0:00 to 0:09 you can clearly hear it, sounds like a telegraph.
4 white for normal approach ? Cooll
aviation for live I don’t think so, I heard the glide slope alarm
Actually four red. That's why the GPWS yelled GLIDESLOPE.
Two reds, two whites.
can someone tell how can a pilot make a lading without ils? .do they use vs?
Are you asking how pilots do visual approaches?
@@f3nd13y yes, im using flight simulator and its really boring make always ils landings

Fly the plane manually by watching the runway. I do all my approaches like that, watching George fly an ILS is boring.
@@Josh.Davidson Pilots who fly. Hope the notion spreads.
That was a pretty poor approach. “Glide slope” call out and 4 reds on the PAPI.
