your head is either deep in the s....t or you are so naive either way drinking beers in a bar with some one does not mean he is good in his job. the fact is that a week after the incident he came up with the most incredible story to cover this thing up. here it goes.

Gentlemen,

Following a recent suspected tailstrike incident at ORBD, I wish to raise awareness of the following NOTAMS and possible consequences:

A1863/10 - RWY 14/32 CLOSED. ALL CROSSING TAXIWAY INTERSECTIONS OPEN FOR AIRCRAFT TAXI. 17 SEP 04:00 2010UNTIL 15 DEC 04:00 2010. CREATED: 16 SEP 06:19 2010
A2113/10 - DIP LOCATED ON RWY 30 APPROXIMATELY 200FT SOUTH OF 7000 RDMBETWEEN TWY FOXTROT AND TWY DELTA. WIE UNTIL 28 JAN 23:59 2011. CREATED: 31OCT 16:07 2010
As detailed above there is a significant DIP, located between taxiways Fox and Delta.

If possible, avoid full length take offs on RWY 30 as the hump/depression will be impacted at high speed and may cause damage to the aircraft. A take off from F intersection will avoid this, thereby minimising the risk of aircraft damage.

Performance limits in the RTOW charts shall always be the deciding factor.



Best regards

suspected tailstrike he says ??????????
