A pilot would really have to work to achieve a tail strike with the preventive measures installed such as the pitch limiter and with the natural aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft.
What's that they say, "Just when you make something idiot proof, some new and improved idiot comes along."

Thanks for the info. I was most interested in roll limiting. I understand there is a pitch guidance system, but thankfully no absolute limit. After all, one does need to drag the tail very occasionally.
