tuifly tailscrape TFS
I heard a tuifly 737 tailscraped at TFS a few days ago. And there is a bright yellow tuifly 737 parked up looking all lonely!
Any news?

Tailstrike at 80kts, rejected at 90 kts.
Internal reports says at 80 kts the aircraft rotated, then the tailstrike and followed by the crew rejecting at 90 kts'
Figure this one out?
Maybe the "80" Call came out as "Rotate"?
AC was very close to MTOW and 189 Pax and 6 crew.
"Heavy tailstrike" with 2m damaged area and ruptured fuselage.

Only half a speed-brake
Some years ago I saw a -800 in a repair shop after what - in an outline - sounds like a similiar occurence. Root cause reported was W&B mess-up with subsequent mis-trim for departure. Through no initial fault from the flight deck, during TOR A/C pitched up so high that tailstrike ensued.
Tried to depart from popular north African charter AD.

A tailstrike at 80 knots? I'll be really surprised if this isn't the same mistake. Depressing isn't it? The same mistakes doomed to be repeated over and over again.

PBD 1 :
"a bit sporty"
I agree with you. We had a really serious windshear, both on landing and T/O, yesterday at TFS.
TFS actually more often has turbulence/windshear/downdrafts than Funchal these days......
