md-80, dc-9

[EagleRJ]

You guys are confusing me, are we talking 717 or DC9?, because I am sure we got 0.989 one time on 717.

Over 1.00 is not possible unless you are a mechanic. Ever see some of the hangar repos in DFW?

full power on one side and full reverse(compressor stalls and all) on the other, crank the tiller over and pray the cessna behind you is tied down tight. Typical parking evolution in KADS.

I've probably gotten around .80 coming off a high-speed. It's pretty neutral but it does have the tendency to break loose at the limit with little warning. God help you if you get one of those European high-speeds with a decreasing radius turn!

It's not like a 911 where if you stay on the power, you can hold it. When an 80 goes, you're a passenger! TC

Yeah, usually American pulls .90 coming out of the ramp to get in front of you, but slows to 2Kts GS for the taxi.

FlyWolf--Now, see, the 717 will pull more g's because it's shorter coupled. Now, that's a machine! TC
