Q400 tail strikes
Up till 2013, there have been 20 Q400 tail strikes according to Bombardier. As far as I know every single one of them has been at flaps 15. Does anyone know of a tail strike on the Q happening with flaps 35?

Wow! Unbelievable.... |
So 18/20 flap 15 = 90%
2/20 flap 35 = 10% :rolleyes: |
You're good at math! ;)
There may be more than 2 flaps 35 tail strikes though... |
Thank you, I do try!
I disliked flap 15 because there was so little room between the approach attitude and the tailstrike attitude. Power was the only other way to arrest the descent rate. I wonder if Bombardier are able to supply any info? |
What's the approach pitch attitude?
What's the tail strike pitch attitude? |
However, also ask how many damaging nose gear first landings there have been with F35.
Then wonder about an aircraft that requires two radically different landing techniques with the two normal landing flap settings and whether that is related to the tail/nose strike rate. |
What's the approach pitch attitude? What's the tail strike pitch attitude? Tail-strike 6.5 degrees worst case, 8 and above is more common |
I think that some work was done by one of the operators which suggested that on fully compressed main gear oleos, and a runway with a noticeable humped cross section, that tail strike occurred at less than 6 degrees; 5.7 rings a bell.
