Aviation Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / February 2010Over Rotation On Takeoff - a growing problem - a growing risk ?
Tailstrikes from over rotations on takeoff may have potentially deadly consequences if the empenage is damaged. Is the industry too complacent ? http://www.airliners.net/photo/Austrian-Airlines/Boeing-767-3Z9-ER/1646611/L/ > Tailstrikes from over rotations on takeoff may have potentially deadly > consequences if the empenage is damaged. > Is the industry too complacent ? > http://www.airliners.net/photo/Austrian-Airlines/Boeing-767-3Z9-ER/1646611/L/ Well, since it has already passed inspection in VIE and gone on it's way back to China I think you can safely sleep soundly tonight. Is that plane going up or down. It looks like it's landing to me. > Is that plane going up or down. > > It looks like it's landing to me. It looks to have takeoff flap setting to me. Landing config would have it all hanging out so to speak. Bernie > Is that plane going up or down. > > It looks like it's landing to me. you think that's what a heavy looks like when its landing ???

SQ at Auckland was a close call.

It's a 737-800 (winglets and windows). Trucks are dual rather than single. Background to clear, should be blurred. >> Tailstrikes from over rotations on takeoff may have potentially deadly >> consequences if the empenage is damaged.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >Trucks are dual rather than single. >Background to clear, should be blurred. Don't think so. The registration belongs to a 767-200, and it is possible to equip those aircraft with winglets. While it has been happening mostly to -300ER's, I assume there is an approval for -200's as well. Also notice that the engine nacelles are truly circular, they are flattened at the bottom on a 737-300/400/500/600/700/800/900 The winglets on the 767 look very similar to the 737's because the same people designed and built both products. > The registration belongs to a 767-200 It's a 767-300. Dual emergency overwing exits, and it has a tail skid. That's where the smoke ic coming from! > Tailstrikes from over rotations on takeoff may have potentially deadly > consequences if the empenage is damaged. > Is the industry too complacent ? > http://www.airliners.net/photo/Austrian-Airlines/Boeing-767-3Z9-ER/1646611/L/ The picture is of a B767-300. This aircraft is fitted with a tail 'bumper' simply because it is quite prone to tail strikes. On a normal rotate, the tail comes to around 18" from the ground, and it takes very little more to actually have it touch the bumper. But, because the bumper is there, it does no damage to the aircraft, only to the pilot's pride, and the thin layer of paint that is placed onto the bumper as the 'tell tale'. Is the industry too complacent? Dunno. It's something that was harped upon at various times in my training, so I don't think we are. Designers on the other hand...well, if I were one, I'd put a skid onto everything. It would have made no difference to Emirates or Singair, but I'm sure there would be plenty of cases where it could have saved some skin damage. Of course, the weight gurus would then proceed to remove it, on the basis that you don't 'really' need it.

Why fit 32 lifeboats, if you only need 16. |
