Estimate from the variant's published specs, 0-5; scores are only comparable within one criteria year. MD-81 (JT8D-200, MTOW 140,000 lb). Range 1,800 nmi with 137 passengers (Wikipedia table from MD-80 airport-planning data) = 0.5. Capacity 143 two-class (12J+131Y) = 2. Speed: long-range cruise Mach 0.76 = 2 (high-speed cruise 0.80 would give 2.5). Runway: 7,200 ft is the lower bound of the 7,200-8,000 ft quoted for the -81/82/83/88 at MTOW (a read-from-graph range) = 4. Comfort null: the four reviews describe the cockpit and handling, not cabin comfort. Efficiency null: no published fuel-burn figure for this variant was found (airport-planning manual has none; operator pages checked give only fleet-level savings). Two of the four reviews are by one author (JetHead).[2]
That’s the 737 compared to the MD-80: no aileron boost on the -80, and little help from the powered rudder
She was lethargic and clumsy in the roll axis and the actual control wheels in the cockpit were cartoonishly large to give pilots more leverage against the lethargic ailerons.
If you ever get a chance to talk to a pilot who has flown the MD-80, they will tell you that it is a “pilot’s airplane.”
Having this type of hands-on control is preferable for some pilots.

Entri pertama sentiasa sumber pin. Keyakinan keseluruhan ialah purata berpemberat bagi sejauh mana setiap rujukan menyokong masa mula dan tamat yang digunakan di atas; sesebuah rujukan diambil kira separuh kurang bagi setiap 180 hari lebih lama daripada yang terbaharu.
Simple Flying[3]: "Ia mengambil penerbangan pertamanya pada 18 Oktober 1979, sebagai DC-9 Super 80. Ia telah diperakui dalam tahun tersebut, menerima kelulusan daripada FAA pada 25 Ogos 1980"; Wikipedia[2] memberikan tarikh yang sama (satu halaman peminat Swissair mengatakan 7 November).

Ada yang tertinggal atau salah? Nyatakan dengan kata-kata anda sendiri: pautan yang menyokong pin ini, tarikh mula atau tamat yang berbeza beserta sebabnya, atau fakta yang tiada atau tersilap. AI menyemaknya berbanding sumber pin ini, mencari yang lebih baik, dan menambah mana-mana halaman yang menyokong anda. Sumber pin itu sendiri tetap paling diambil kira. Gambar yang menunjukkan sesuatu yang lain, atau menunjukkannya dengan buruk, turut dilihat, dan dialihkan ke bawah atau diganti.
