It sure seems that most of the tail strikes occurring in transport category aircraft over the last few years have involved 'low hour' first officers
Certainly that seems the case from numerous anecdotal reports from the SE Asia region where hiring of "cadets" is more prevalent than with Australian airlines. Tail strike incidents in particular with Airbus where there is no feed back to the PM because of the design of the side-stick system.
IMHO there is a case for simulator instructors to physically demonstrate various sequences such as a take-off, circuits and landings with and without cross-wind, initial training of rejected take-off's, engine failure after V1, stall recovery from high and low altitude. A pilot new to type should then to be able to sit back and watch a good demonstration so he has an ideal to aim for. A picture is worth a thousand words.
An instructor should also have the instructional skill be able to demonstrate
how not to fly a sequence and thus allow a new pilot the opportunity to observe the consequences of a stuff-up. For example in the simulator by demonstrating the danger of a tail strike by the instructor making a rapid rotation far beyond the recommended rate, would be far more value than verbal "talking through" method of instructing. In the case of the A320 incident that is the subject of this thread and the ATSB report (a rotation rate of 9 degrees per second was mentioned), a previous demonstration of the correct rate of rotation by a competent simulator instructor may have prevented the incident in the first place. We all learn by observing an expert at work.
The consequences of an unstable approach is another example where a demonstration of a high and fast final approach and subsequent over-run on a wet runway, would be of immense value to the student under simulator training. Instead it is common to see box ticking exercises rather than a pilot learning from observing.
Early or late flare height is another example where a good demonstration aids the students own judgement and learning. Same with cross-wind take off and landing. It is basic instructional technique. First demonstrate so the student knows what is expected. Then practice. That is why we have simulators.
