Tailstrike EDI

All the 25's made it stick in my mind hence knowing the route for the UK524 above.
Sadly that could have been a flight I was in Command of. Night landing, F/O was PF and got slow approaching the threshold, he cut the power and flared too high. During the roll-out, the rear cabin crew called on the inter-phone to report a scraping noise during the landing, just as I was telling the F/O he’d scrape the tail one day if he did that again! Will check my logbook, in another location right now.
