777 Tailstrike
Just wondering what the procedure is for a tailstrike on rotation on a 777? (sorry if this issue has been covered before)
A fellow engineer reported seeing a Singapore Airlines 777 (ex-Sydney) strike its tail on departure a few days ago (huge rotation rate, showers of sparks, etc... presumably lots of noise in the cabin). Aircraft continued on its merry way. The authorities were notified, but the aircraft did not return to Sydney.
I believe SQ 777's have tailstrike sensors fitted(?).
