Tail Strikes During Takeoff/Landing

 Tail Strikes


What are a Tail Strike and Why are they caused?

Tail strikes occur when the tail of an airplane hits the runway during takeoff or landing, could be caused maybe by pilot error or another technical factors. 

I share this interesting issue, and try to stay away to prevent a future tail strike incident during take off phases or landing.
