McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 landing

McDonnel Douglas DC-10-10

role : wide-body airliner

importance : ****

first flight : 29 August 1970 operational : August 1971 (American Airlines)

country : United States of America

production : DC-10-10 : 122 aircraft at Long Beach from 1970 – 1981, total DC-10 386.

About 100 subcontractors were involved in the production process, among ; Convair,

San Diego (forward section fuselage) , Mitsubishi, Japan (landing gear door

actuators), Aeritalia, Naples (upper fin and rudder), General Dynamics (fuselage

shell), De Havilland Canada, Toronto (wings)

general information :

3-jet widebody, designed as replacement for the DC-8. First design was for a 2-engine aircraft, later changed to a 3-engine design. Smaller than the Boeing 747, but with comparable range and able to land on smaller airfields. During early operations there were multiple incidents, some with disastrous outcome. There were issues with the cargo door. The locking mechanism was not save, causing the cargo door being blown out in flight, resulting in explosive decompression and the cabin floor not strong enough to take this and collapsing. The control cables for the tail rudder, elevators and tail engine run underneath the floor and when the cabin floor collapsed they were trapped leaving the airliner out of control. After the AA191 American Airlines crash in May 1979 the DC-10 was grounded in the US by the FAA. In August 1983 MDD announced production would be stopped due to lack of orders, caused by the public thinking the aircraft was not save and also due to poor fuel economy reputation. With the DC-10 gaining more fleet flying hours and the early faults being corrected, the aircraft got a safety record comparable with the other widebody airliners. It outsold its direct competitor, the Lockheed L1011 Tristar. Production ended in 1989. In 2014 a DC-10 made the last commercial passenger flight.

The DC-10 is capable of performing all-weather operations, a function that many preceding jetliners had been incapable of. From the onset, it could perform takeoffs and landings completely under  autopilot Cassette tapes  were used to load preprogrammed flight plans into the digital air data flight computer, meeting ARINC 576 requirements.

The Windsor incident

Monday 12 June 1972 American Airlines DC-10-10 N103AA c/n 46503

DSP Flight AA96 from Detroit (DTW) to Buffalo (BUF) with 11 crew and 56 passengers. First flight : 1971 Airframe hrs : 2142 engines : GE CF6-6D No people died in the

crash only 11 injured. location : +- 42°19’00”N 83°02’00”W

Aircraft Photo of N103AA | McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 | American Airlines |  AirHistory.net #338641

American Airlines DC-10 N103AA had just taken off for flight AA96 when, at an altitude of 3500m, the aft bulk cargo door blows out of the fuselage over Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The cabin floor partially collapses due to the decompression. Fortunately, there are only 56 passengers on board, so the floor is not heavily loaded and there was no one in the collapsing area. The rudder no longer works, but the elevators remain intact. Captain Bryce McCormick takes over the controls and by using the throttle handles of the remaining two wing engines, he manages to turn the aircraft around and make a safe emergency landing on Detroit Metropolitan airport. It landed on RW03 with 300 km/h (162 kts), approach sink rate 4 m/s. It veered to the right on landing, by differential thrust reverser use, the airplane came back on the runway and coming to a stop, 2682m from the threshold with only the right main landing gear besides the runway. The FAA only makes a polite phone call to McDonnel Douglas (MDD) and does not demand that the floor be strengthened. MDD inserts a small peephole to check the latch, after which the cargo door was again deemed safe. To close the door, a member of the ground crew first had to press a button to have the electric motors lock the door, then he had to move his ladder to bring down a handle, then he had to move his ladder again to see through a small peephole to see if the door was locked properly.

McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 drawing of aft bulk cargo door

On March 3, 1974, a Turkish Airlines DC-10 crashes near Paris as a result of the failure of the rear cargo door (see the accident file ).

A change to the locking system is also recommended, but this is not given an urgency predicate, which means that many airlines do not do it or are late in doing so (as with the Turkish DC-10). The FAA also wanted additional vent holes in the floor, but MDD did not want to do this because of the high costs and felt that the peephole and the modified latch had solved the problem. While it was statistically certain that a cargo door would fail at some point, which would lead to the loss of the aircraft in the case of the DC-10, not being fail safe.

N103AA was the fifth DC-10 built, delivered in 1971 it had only 2142 flying hours.
