In addition to the DC-10, the A340 has a center gear, and if you're riding on one, I suggest you pay attention at touchdown, because you seem to 'land'
three times: once while the outer main gear touches ground, followed by a second landing as the center main goes 'thud', followed by the nose gear -
which is short. Has anybody else noticed this? Must be frustrating for pilots wanting to make a good landing ..... they must do it three times in one go.

The use of the central gear depends on the weight of the plane. Sometimes it's used, sometimes not.
By the way, in the last 2, 3 days, this forum is getting many non Civil Aviation related posts. I don't learn nothing with those posts, just lose time and money while waiting to download they.
