August 31, 20241 yr Last July 9, 2024, a LATAM 777 taking off from LIMC Malpensa (Italy) had made, for about 700 meters, a "Tail Strike" on the runway with serious damage reported to the tail of the aircraft. After takeoff, the aircraft returned in emergency to LIMC. Video of the tail strike at LIMC: Edited August 31, 20241 yr by charliearon embed video

August 31, 20241 yr That was not a tail strike, that was plowing of the runway! 😲 My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.
August 31, 20241 yr Juan Browne (Blancolirio on YT) did a video on this one, and the satirical references were actually pretty funny. They rotated WAY too early--the Vr in the FMS was 32 knots low, and they had an excessively reduced thrust due to an assumed temp setting that was 18 deg C too high, resulting in a pretty dangerous reduction in thrust given their heavy TOGW. My guess is the weights didn't get entered into the FMS properly, if at all. Can't imagine what else could cause it to be off by that much. I'm also surprised the acft didn't sustain major damage...it dug a divot out of the runway concrete that was 6cm (2.3") deep.

Bob, this has been my biggest nightmare lol. I remember in the GIII going to takeoff once and the co was new to the type. On the way down the parallel, the co switched to tower and had some issues checking in with tower. After a couple of tries, I checked us in myself. Nothing peaked my interest at the moment because I was in that "get out of here" mode unfortunately. We were cleared, rolled on and set power. At Vr, pulled back and immediately my stomach dropped as the nose did not want to lift. I looked at the trim and it was fwd out of the green. Apparently when the co was trying to check in, he was adding in nose down trim instead of transmit. It dawned on me right away and I thumbed nose up as I held the yoke back. We got off without incident and we had a great discussion on the transmit button vs the trim. I then made sure to incorporate trim into my last minute check while checking lights and three switches fwd. Rick D http://g5flyer.tumblr.com/
September 1, 20241 yr @G550flyer Oh yeah, hurtling down the rwy is not a good time to start troubleshooting your takeoff config!! I had a new IP on a local in the C-141 call "flaps and trim set" during a touch and go...yeah the flaps were set at that moment, but he'd overshot the detent and they were still tracking up. Fortunately we were at Edwards with about 15000 ft of runway.
