Is the 747-400F equiped with a tail strike sensor ? (older 747 I knew weren't). Is it not possible that the crew was unaware of the strike ?
Nope, the 744s are not fitted wif a tail strike sensor. The 773s, 737 and 763s have tail strike sensors. Not sure about 748 though. Just wondering, is it possible to "feel" a tail strike from the cockpit ?
