I keep reading about the loss of the tail plane leading to a rapid pitch down and agree that the tail plaine is an important part of keeping a balanced pitch attitude.


However, not knowing all the balances at play in this flight regime, my question is to the relative significance of the engine rapidly rising thrust on pylons ahead of the wing causing a pitch up mode vs the tail plane being there or not. Now once the engines get creamed against the ground then the loss of the tail plane might be logical to result in a pitch down
