G550flyer Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago @IniJamir I know you have logged this one under suggestions, but just wanted to give you some context just in case. This aircraft, definitely with the DC10 has a limited landing sight picture. At 4.5 degrees pitch in the DC10 and the cockpit height, you have limited peripheral vision. In the L1011 at 7 degrees pitch on approach, it has to be worst. In the DC10, we had the GPWS callouts coming at 100 and then 50 to 10. These call outs are essential and give you a good sense of sink rate and when to start your flare. As the callouts start and you are shifting your aimpoint down the runway, that callout cadence also tells you what your flare rate should be. 1
