717 certification stall test

Am I the only one who thought the right seat flight instructor was trying to smack his right hand off the yoke and back onto the throttle? I mean we call them primary skills for a reason!

Clearly you've never flown a -9 variant. Try muscling a 717 out of a deep stall with one hand on the yoke. Good luck with that unless you're on roids.
 
Question for all you dc-9/ md80/ b717 drivers, why do they not have a stick pusher system and what keeps the A/C from going into a deep stall.
 
I would argue with him because mom and dad said that all opinions matter on all topics and "I think" has equal footing with "In my experience". :)

There is a stick pusher system. When it activates, it also activates the hydraulic rudder assist for the stabilizer that the Duck mentioned, which helps push the nose over since there's little airflow over the control tabs at that point.
 
Silly airplanes that don't have stall protection as part of normal law.

Thanks Todd i have an old DC-9-10/30 Poh from Midway Airlines but i could never find anything about the pusher system in it, but it did explain about the limited Hydro assist on the down elevator.
