Re: Can steel brake pads be used in systems designed for carbon?

If the Airplane Flight Manuals have the performance data. sure, but if they dont (and most dont) no.

Re: Does FX normally use the MD-10 to HNL?

Plus noise, the 10-30 is barely Stage 3, with most of Europe for example requiring a lot of margin between certificated noise levels and the aircraft, something the -30 simply doesn't have. Plus the -30 is just very expensive to operate.
