we need a new thread about incompetent ATC instructions. It was 1000 rvr in MCO
recently and they told me to expedite taxi. 3 planes go around because aircraft are going slow to find the taxiway. And ATC is clueless. I’m configured with flaps and make me accelerate to 250 retract flats for 1 minute only to slow to 170 after that. ATC will be probable cause for next accident.

MD-80 had a very low percentage of weight on the nose gear. That's how they were able to use the roller bag tires on the nose gear. Lots of MD-80's went skidding over the years even with the engines being fuselage mounted (differential split N1 still rotated the airplane!).
None of them are cars or race cars when it comes to cornering capability.

Or he’s with one of those people that click off the Autobrake right after touching down.
Or the PF was former Southwest.
We have options.
Max in Max out.

Flightradar 24's ground data is notoriously inaccurate.

Not gonna speculate about the cause until the report comes out. But, it’s good to know that United loves aft CG loading for efficiency. That can lead to some pretty light nose wheel situations, especially on a slick surface. I make sure to point this out to F/O’s, since they won’t mention it at TK. Heck, even taxiing across the painted surfaces can cause some skidding at slow speeds. Again, this may have nothing to do with this incident, but it’s good knowledge to have.
