Thanks Mathfox, but I fail to see the relevance of this article. Tail strike could occur for any number of reasons - poor pilot skills, aircraft empty causing over-rotating if the pilot has received no training for empty aircraft flight, tail heavy loading...
Of course I understand loading is an issue... as it is with almost every single aircraft ever built. These can be some pretty complicated calculations... so I don't believe a CC can calcuate the loading off the top of her head without even knowing what is loaded in the cargo hold, the Basic empty weight, moment arms etc...
