Much has been said about tailstrike. The statisitics (UK AAIB) show that the most likely scenario for a tailstrike in a 321 is a slow approach followed by a float, or a boucne after touchdown. The pilot thinks he is descending too fast and tries to arrest the rate of descent increasing the pitch angle.
