Avoiding Tail

Strike
Objective
 To understand aircraft characteristics and
to avoid tail strikes
Contents
 Takeoff risk factors
 Landing risk factors
 Center of gravity
 HGS
 Landing flaps
 Max x-wind landing
 Recovery from a bounced
landing
Takeoff Risk Factors-1
 Miss-trimmed stabilizer
~using erroneous takeoff data
 Rotation at improper speed
~is usually caused by early rotation due to
some unusual situation, or rotation at too low an
airspeed for the weight and/or flap setting.
 Excessive rotation rate
Takeoff Risk Factors-2
 Trimming during rotation

~The PF may easily lose the feel of the


elevator while the trim is running which
may result in an excessive rotation rate
Improper use of FD
~The FD provides accurate pitch guidance
only after the airplane is airborne
Landing Risk Factors

 Unstabilized approach
 Holding off in the flare
 Trimming in the flare
 Mishandling of crosswinds
 Over-rotation during go-around
Center of Gravity (CG)

 When taking off at light weight and with


an aft CG, the combination of full thrust,
rapid thrust application, and sudden brake
release may tend to pitch the nose up.
Landing Flaps

 NORMAL L/D FLAPS~~~(15), 30, 40


 LESS FLAP~~~MORE APP PITCH
 A/C PITCH ATTITUDE DECREASES BY 1
DEGREE FOR EVERY 5KT INCREASE IN APP
SPEED.
 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FLAP30 & FLAP40
Max X-wind Landing-1

 ON FINAL,APP MAINTAINING CRAB.


 BELOW 500 AFE, APPLY RUDDER SLOWLY, AND
KEEP UPWIND WING LOW.
 APP WITH COMBINATION UNTIL REACHING R/W.
 AFTER PASSING 50 FEET,MORE RUDDER MORE
UPWIND AILERON.
 REACHING 30 FEET,START TO FLARE NORMALLY

(TO ALIGN WITH THE C/L ,APPLY MORE


RUDDER AND MORE AILERON GRADUALLY)
Max X-wind Landing-2
 AS THE UPWIND GEAR TOUCHES FIRST,
COMMENCE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN
DOWNWIND RUDDER TO STRAIGHTEN THE
NOSE.
 APPLICATION OF AILERON IS APPLIED TO
MAINTAIN WINGS LEVEL.
 DURING THE FLARE,DO NOT MAKE WINGS
LEVEL, OTHERWISE DRIFT WILL OCCUR.
 TO COMPENSATE WEATHER-VANE EFFECT,
APPLY MORE RUDDER DURING THE
ROLLOUT.
BOUNCED LANDING
RECOVERY
 To recover from a light bounce (5
feet or less), flight crew should
do the following:
 Maintain or regain a normal landing
pitch attitude (do not increase pitch
attitude because this could lead to a tail
strike)
 Continue the landing
 Use power as required to soften the
second touchdown, and
 Be aware of the increased landing
distance.
BOUNCED LANDING
RECOVERY
 If the airplane bounces more than 5
feet, a go-around should be
conducted because insufficient
runway might remain for a safe
landing. The following go-around
procedure is recommended:
 Maintain or establish a normal landing pitch
attitude
 Activate the go-around levers and advance
the throttle levers to the go-around thrust
position
 Maintain the landing flaps configuration or
set a different configuration, as required by
the FCOM/QRH
BOUNCED LANDING
RECOVERY
 Be prepared for a second touchdown
 Be alert to apply forward pressure on the
control column and reset the pitch trim
as the engines spool up (particularly with
under wing-mounted engines)
 When safely established in the go-around
and when no risk remains of touchdown
(steady, positive rate of climb), follow
normal go-around procedures, and
 Re-engage automation, as desired, to
reduce workload.
