Now THAT is scary.
While both UPS and FedEx have increasingly purchased new aircraft, they also have a history of sometimes buying aircraft near the end of their life cycle. Some of the first aircraft that FedEx bought (727-100’s from LAN Chile and DC-10-10’s from the original Continental) were pretty exciting rides.
I wonder how old the A300 was. IIRC, UPS did not buy any A300s when they were in production.
It was 10 years old and relatively low hours, as is usual with cargo planes.
You would normally turn the A/P off with this type of landing, iirc.
No autoland at this airport. PAPI was determining the glide slope.
