RYR Tailstrike at KRK
I understand from a colleague at KRK airport that RYR suffered a significant tailstrike there recently on a B738. The aircraft suffered damage on departure and held for an hour before returning to land again at KRK.
Passengers thanked for choosing RYR and a/c departed some time later (empty) for repairs.
Tail-striking a 734/8 on T/o is not difficult and has only one primary cause..... too much elevator + not enough knots.
An error in performance calcs perhaps?
