To accomplish flare, rotate smoothly to touchdown attitude
maintaining airspeed and rate of descent with thrust. After
touchdown, reduce thrust to idle.

DITCHING EXPANDED CHECKLIST
Checklist use is based upon the recognition of conditions which preclude continuation of the flight to a suitable landing, requiring airplane ditching, and evacuation.
.
Send distress signal
On command, First Officer will transmit MAYDAY message, including position, course, speed, altitude, situation, intention, time, and position of intended touchdown, type of airplane, and request “ASR” intercept using prevailing air to ground frequency. Set transponder code 7700 and, if able, provide Captain course to nearest ship or landfall.
.
Advise crew and passengers.
Seat passengers as far forward as possible. After ditching, airplane assumes a slight taildown attitude (floor angle not more than 5. nose up). At high gross weights, wings will be awash, while at lower gross weights, the upper wing surface will be clear of water. The aft cabin and aft service doors should not be used for evacuation. If life rafts are on board, the door slides should be disarmed. Life rafts are to be launched at the main cabin door and the overwing exits if conditions permit. If no life rafts are on board, ensure Flight Attendants are prepared to use the evacuation slides as substitutes. The aft service door girt bar should be disengaged so the slide can be brought forward after airplane stops.
.
Burn off fuel as required.
Consider burning fuel off to reduce gross weight prior to ditching. This will provide greater buoyancy and a slower landing speed. Ensure enough fuel is retained to operate engines through the search for a good landing spot, approach, flare, and touchdown.
.
Accomplish IN-RANGE checklist. Pressurization should be set to descend to pattern altitude (2,000 to 3,000 feet) to facilitate depressurization prior to landing.
.
Choose ditching site. Plan to touchdown on upwind side and parallel to waves or swells if possible. Refer to DITCHING PROCEDURE, this section for more guidance.

Eliminates source of pressurized air so cabin can be completely de-pressurized to allow opening of aircraft doors and exits. Placing the switches off one at a time will reduce the severity of the pressure surge experienced by the passengers. After stable, cabin should climb at approximately 1,000 FPM.
Cabin Pressurization................................ DEPRESSURIZE MANUALLY
If the preceding step does not depressurize the aircraft completely, move the CABIN ALT control lever down to manual and adjust the control wheel toward VALVE OPEN (climb) until the desired climb rate commensurate with the situation is achieved. 中国航空网 www.aero.cn 航空翻译 www.aviation.cn 本文链接地址：MD-80 Flight Manual 麦道80飞行手册 1(55)
