AIRPLANE GENERAL

Introduction
This chapter provides the flight crew with general airplane information and specific descriptive information for the following systems:
.
Lavatories and galleys

.
Passenger forward entrance door and stairway, forward service door

.
Oxygen systems

.
Lighting systems

.
Emergency exits and equipment

General
The MD-80 airplane is powered by two aft-mounted turbofan engines and is designed to provide efficient operation and reliable transportation of passengers and cargo. Simplicity of design permits efficient operation with a crew of seven:  a Captain, First Officer, and five Flight Attendants.
An Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) and an integral passenger forward stairway and aft stairway facilitates passenger loading, unloading, and engine starting at airports equipped with minimal ground support equipment. External service points may be reached without use of ladders or stands. Cargo may be manually loaded from the ground without special equipment resulting in an approximate turnaround time of 20 to 30 minutes.
Fuselage
The fuselage is of all-metal construction consisting of a nose section, a center section, and a tail section. In addition to the flight compartment and the passenger compartment, the fuselage contains a nose-gear wheel well, a forward accessory compartment, an electrical / electronics compartment, forward, mid, and aft lower cargo compartments, main gear wheel well, and an aft accessory compartment in the tail section aft of the pressure bulkhead.
All external doors and emergency exits, with the exception of the forward stair well door, are plug type and pressure sealed. Door operating instructions have either stenciled instructions or instruction plates adjacent to the latches.

Wing
The wing is all metal, fully cantilevered, sweptback, and mounted through the lower fuselage. The wing incorporates the leading edge slats, ailerons, spoilers, trailing edge flaps, integral fuel tanks, and supporting structure for the main gear.
The slats are located on the leading edge of the wings and are hydraulically actuated to the takeoff, landing, and retract positions by pressure from both hydraulic systems. The slat system permits slower takeoff and landing speeds and use of shorter runways.
The aileron and aileron trim tab system provide lateral control and trim of the airplane by aerodynamically operated ailerons. A bus cable system connects the two ailerons; so that, as one aileron is moved, aerodynamically or manually, the other aileron moves in the opposite direction. The aileron system provides input to control hydraulically actuated flight spoilers for lateral control assist.
The flaps are hinged to the trailing edge of each wing and are hydraulically operated. The flaps may be positioned from full up to full down to obtain increased drag, to increase the lift of the wind, and to lower the stall speed for landing and takeoff.
The spoiler system consists of hydraulically operated flight / ground spoiler panels on the upper surface of each wing, forward of the flaps. The flight spoiler system aids lateral control and also serves as a speedbrake during flight. The flight spoiler panels are also used as ground spoilers after landing to reduce stopping distance. An additional Inboard Ground Spoiler panel is installed on each wing to improve stopping performance – on the ground.
