Super-80 Emergency Exits and Slides
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 фев 2009
- This video was created by the McDonnell Douglas company to train flight attendants on the use of emergency exits, doors and slides on the DC-9-80 (also called the Super 80). The aircraft featured during the slide training is from Long Beach's Jet America. The Super-80 had three exit doors, four overwing exits and a tailcone slide. Note: today's modern variant, the B-717, has emergency equipment slightly different to that of the Super-80. The B-717 evacuation slides now deploy automatically from the floor level exits, and the tailcone slide is housed in a yellow container.

Good thing there's always a man with a trampoline on wheels located at each airport to remove the tailcone once it's jettisoned.
t0nyc0nde yes. And what about putting that cone back up again? Why the hell would you do that. You can replace a slide, but I want to see somebody who's putting that cone back up...
HMSDaring1 Exactly. No point in using the slide if the cone is in the way
the way the cone is designed it will roll out of the way to the left when jettisoned the trailer was there so they wouldn't trash the cone before delivering the plane shown in the video
HMSDaring1 Yeah! I flew on this slave ship as a Flight Attendant and we always said the same thing. Typical FAA BS that proves in a real emergency that slid would be useless.
Matthew Neathery What If they crash land in an muddy area? Ofc it is useless.
I used to work at TWA with several DC-9 variants. The tail cone is designed so that it would roll off to it's side thus rolling away from and getting out of the way of the tail-cone slide.
you can see it starting to roll away before the trailer drives off

Back in the 90s where there're loads of these aircraft at the airport where I used to work at, the flight crews often joke about you'd be better off jumping than using the thin slide and fall off.
Yeah, the angle & lack of sides did not inspire confidence...
I would rather have the pilot belly land the damn thing and then inflate the slides in the event of a emergency landing. I will not slide down a damn slide that’s literally 70 degrees sloped, and I weigh 425lbs, so you can see how this would be a disaster for that tiny slide.
a real death trap with those narrow slides.
you did and still do actually really think about whether you evacuate via the slides or not. I'm not sure if you still consider the same numbers but a few years back you would consider about 10% of the passengers evacuated by slide to get injured...
The ole ankle snappers
Omg lol those slides are THINNER THAN Anyone's HAIR
that was before obesity kicked in xd
Israel0721 dangerous
Kinda looks like the budget version
@1993GOS Obviously the tail cone was carried away in a big net to protect it from being damaged, after filming the video it had to be re-installed again. these tailcones are made from fiber glass material and are very fragile to impact.
The 717-200 slides are a little wider with more too the sides, so you don't fall off the side on your way down. and the Tail cone is designed to rotate to the right, so to the same side as the No1 engine.
that aircraft is not related. www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgMakeModel.nsf/0/c1817d49c964876886256b1400759d25/$FILE/A6WE.pdf
I didn’t know the 717 had the cone. Since I don’t think they have stairs, I figured it was sealed off by the bulkhead.
That’s because 717-era Americans are a lot fatter than they were back when the DC-9 was designed
Wow...we've come a long way since then. Thank goodness for that.
Such an awesome aircraft!
that slide looks so dangerous
Sophia Huangeerrzz same
Me to!
noom_nik we know that :P
Yeah looks really tiny.
noom_nik they should at least have a side border Jeez
these airliners are really stunning and so gracefull sue asbury
Those slides look like you can fall off the side
Keep in mind, the plane is much higher with the wheels down. If they are going to use the slides, in most cases.... The gear would likely be collapsed. Likely!! I wouldn't want to jump on it if that wheels were down. 😂
Those slides are as thin if not thinner than my future.
'Place it on its side on the seat!' With 100 or more people screaming to vacate, just chuck it out through the aperture and get the fuck out of there.
McDonnell Douglas ❤❤
This is an awesome vid, thanks for uploading it
Can you imagine trying to set that door down on the seats when you have a line of passagers desperate to get out
This is hilarious. The tail falling off is so funny
Ikr
The engines are burning, let's escape from in between
You know, the flight crew decides which slides to use, not always all of them, if any in fact.
Or do you also think they would deploy a wing exit to the wing that is in flames in case it is?
i think the reason for the trailer for the cone was to not damage the cone when delivery time came around also is it just me or did that super 80 livery at the end look like aeromexico's old orangeish livery?
On the tail cone slide when the tail cone falls away then the slide comes out on top of it
nice video!
Eventually the engineers got some wisdom and put side "rails" on inflatable evacuation slides.
I like the AFT passenger door :D
Here because some ramp workers accidentally jettisoned the tailcone in the Caribbean, June 2022.
Slider on the tail is good idea!
It actually depends on the airline's own standard operating procedures. It is up to them to decide the exact disposal procedure. I've seen airlines also suggest "dumping" the hatch in the row in front or behind but that is probably more difficult that one would think.
Oh my goodness...this video has been up for FOUR years and NO ONE ever caught that typo! Yikes! I changed it right away, thanks for spotting it!
@John Portal umm okay?
This, along with Toy Story, Cory in the House, and Seinfeld, is among my favorite animes.
I finally found this video after so many years
I remember watching this video on vhs for cabin crew initial training...and after I got to do the release of the tailcone as the aircraft was on C- check at the hangar for my Recency training as I had expired on the MD83...quite an experience.
*”and if the backup tailcone jettison fails, well; your pretty much fucked if the other emergency exits are blocked or they are inaccessible due to fire”*
Jet America!!!
Man this plane is so damm sexy!!
My question is: In real emergeny who is there to remove the tail of the plane? SOOO UNSAFE the tail is in the way of the slide basically... omg such a clever invention...
I wonder what the music stings at the beginning and end are called
Woa, that was really cool.
Where do you get your videos from? I seem to only find them on ebay :S
its really cool
1:18 can the tail repair to connect back?
Why did they stop making this
Edit: a year later a found out that McDonnell Douglas stopped making this because they got old, and then Boeing killed them in 1997
Those slides look like the slides that I make out of paper
These slide is not safe it could slip.
was it the DC-9-80 or the MD80.. because internally they were known as the "DC-9-XX" (XX denoting 80 90 95 (MD 80, MD90, MD95 and so on))
I guess soon tailcone jettisons will be a thing of the past.
I heard about a case where the rear cone jettison handle broke off and several passengers and crew burned to death because of it
You can survive a plane crash and a broken leg... BUT THE SLIDE
I knew those doors opened first inward! then rolled out! This video HAD to be for crew. There were no visual screens on the Dog. Less you brought your own.
Last on video is an aeroméxico before to delivery
The first plane would be dangerous ayo like that slide is tiny
**CUTSCENE** I have a feeling that the slide failed to open @ 2:20, that's why we got hit with the quick scene change.
It probably was cut for time. If the slide didn’t inflate it’d be a much larger issue. We’d already seen the slide inflate several times by that point.
The 717 version of all that is much much much more improved. the tail cone is designed to fall to one side, not straight down where the slide is going to be. the OWE dont have the armrest attached..
From 1979
The slides are totally a death trap
The planes that can poop people.....
If the cone does not Jetson, Flintstone it
siento que los toboganes son muy angostos y lo de la puerta de atrás fue una mala idea
and what happens when the tail cone falls off and get in the way of the slide
That happened
The slides are so small lol
I tought you were to throw the overwing exit out of the airplane. My father works for SAS as an engineer so I have almost grown up in a hangar with MD-80's and when I was alowed to open the emergency exits I was instructed to get the over wing exiv out of the plane so it doesnt prevent people from getting out.
Haha! I didn't know we had quick-inflate technology in those days! I thought it was all about stepping out onto a wing and then wondering how to get down from there!
Isn't the APU normally located in the tail? How would people get out if the APU is in the way?
Funny how people have been getting fatter, but seats have been getting smaller.
I never could understand how in case of an evacuation via the slides 10% of the pax sustained injuries until I found out how incredibly flimsy emergency slides used to be....
we can can't ourselves lucky that we don't have these unusable pieces of junk anymore.
Forget the slide, you'd fall off of it anyway.
The Boeing 717
Goodbye MD80 butt
my mom was a flight attendant and I got to deploy the tailcone slide
Ashton Carlson cool
Ashton Carlson cool
Ashton Carlson cool
Cool
Cool
Kinda dangerous how you have those narrow ass slides and no side protection
Did it have an apu?
From what I saw it does, but it's located on the top section of the fuselage, not that tail cone, in between both engines.
@@Kalvinjj interesting!
I think slides that go straight down kind of defeats the purpose!!!
Where can you get that. a) It would just be 'plane' fun. (Haha, made you read an awful pun!) b) It would be worth a lot in fifty years when Super 80s are exiled and people wanna know what we did with escape slides.
do you mean the video?
Matthew Neathery im not sure anymore
Those slides are more narrow than my skinny body
Y'all doing some risky business TRY NOT TO FALL OFF the slide
Will you edit your description, please? These planes are not "McDonald-"anything. They are McDonell Douglas.
Slides are so small
His voice is golden
Sadly those slides are on the A320 and 737-any
Its MD-80
Its the mad dog or MD 80
Maybe
its just a floating device...not more :)
What if the cone falls off mid flight?
The tailcone exit looks so sketchy. Poor design that carried on from the DC-9, also used on the 717. If the tailcone doesn't deploy, you could be trapped at the back of the plane. I know the engines are at the rear, but why couldn't they just put regular exits at the back? Also, what if its a ditching and the way to the window exits is blocked?
Pskilla502 run to the front DUUUUU
And now what would happen if the tail cone fell off in flight.
I like Flying planes It would fall until it hit the ground. It's just a fiberglass cover and it's an unpressurized area.
I feel so safe 😂
what a pathetically bad design...irl that tail would stay under which in turn may puncture the slide or injure those on the ground. Oh and you better aim your body right as with a slide like this you'd probably miss most of it anyway..
The slides are so small at the edges
Where is the slide for the last exit? more people will get injured using those puney slides.
Not safe
It actually looks like a DC-9 to me
MINEMICS is_not_pleased I thought it was a DC-9 cus of the tail cone
the aircraft complete name is McDonnell Douglas DC-9 Super 80, which was later renamed to MD 80 after the company was absorbed by the Boeing company
the DC-9 super 80 is actually it's true name. or perhaps something even a little more obscure. that is because it is not completely different aircraft type certificate wise.. the MD-80 was named that by mc donnel douglas not by Boeing. Boeing of course renamed the MD-95 to the 717. www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgMakeModel.nsf/0/c1817d49c964876886256b1400759d25/$FILE/A6WE.pdf
If you ever see a DC-9 style tail cone on an MD-80, it's an earlier model.
Have they seen American's lately? That slide is good for one thigh at a time.
The super 80 was not a good airplane to evacuate from. The slightest breeze blew the slides sideways and you slid off the edges. The tailcone rarely fell far enough away that it didn't interfere with the evacuation.
The slide looks a bit to small
These slides look really dangerous
Those slides are more like fat ropes you have to fully grasp around the way you would with a fireman's pole.
those slides tho
This seems like a joke compared to the near automatic instant emergency evacuation procedures on multi engined aircraft these days.
geeeezzz thats a small slide
e
And that would hurt
Yeah... I feel sorry if they had to use those slides XD
Those slides look too narrow that people might fall down from sides and also are too steep. People will break their bones evacuating.
the cone would have been in the way if it wasn't towed away.
coffee107 normally it would rotate out of the way but rather than trash a fragile fiberglass tailcone for a demo video they got the trailer with a net to catch it more softly
The slide have no safety too
