Ja, bei der Landung schon schwieriger. Obwohl die Piloten selber sich positiv über die MD11 geäußert haben.

Auch die Lautstärke soll ein Problem gewesen sein.

Das gab es ja schon öfters in der Geschichte, dass zu ihrer Zeit sehr interessante und auch moderne Flugzeuge vom Markt nicht so gut aufgenommen worden sind. Siehe auch der A380. Alleine der A330 war schon besser als die MD11 für Passagierflugzeuge. Oder die 747 oder 777 waren besser als die MD11 für Frachtflugzeuge.

Streifen machen schlank, oder?

Längsstreifen machen schlank ! Sieht eher aus wie eine Seeschlange.

Ich bin früher , real ein paar mal mit der Tristar mitgeflogen. Von LTU Düsseldorf.
