I couldn't find it..... What did you need to know? Takeoff set flaps 15 (I think it's 15, whatever it is it's 3 notches). Rotation would be between 125-150 depending on weight, with liftoff soon after. Final approach also depends on weight, but should be around 130-140 with full flaps. The fleet MD-88 doesn't have the greatest center of gravity, therefore its handling is not as good. I haven't flown any payware MD-88's; but I bet they are a little easier to get stabilized on final, as long as you know how to fly it.

The key to flying a good approach is remembering that the Mad Dog handles like a dump truck. Plan ahead and don't expect her to turn on a dime, and you should be ok. wink
