The MD82 is a variant of the MD80 series. 22,000 pound thrust engines rather the normal 19,000 pound thrust original. Build for higher temperatures and ground altitudes. You do not just turn off a caution warning sensor you find out why the sensor was telling there is a problem in the first place but it cost less to kill people then to keep the plane on the ground. Maintenance class 101 all 4 hours of school.
