For that Malaysia jet to grind his a$$ that badly, he either was a total newb on the 777 and really yanked on the yoke, or his numbers weren't matched to his load. Talk about leaving some hull on the runway!

edit: He has no excuse even in the latter case, as deck angle should tell him when he is approaching the "scrape" zone.

That first pic is cool!!

I thought 777's had a tailskid. The Malaysia looks like it broke the tailskid or it wasn't installed at the factory. Kinda weird in either case and I think the pilots got a new a**hole after that.

If i remember correctly only the 777-300s have the tail skids.......

The -200 has a tailskid also. I have video of Boeing doing the testing with the 777-200 model prototype down at Edwards AFB. They were testing the minimum unstick speed of the plane. Unless Boeing made the tailskid an option. That would be just stupid though.

 

[DenverDude2002]

I'll dig up my 777 books tomorrow and get a confirmed answer then. Im pretty sure it's optional on the 200 just like the 733 doesnt have one but the 734 does.

 

[RRF985]

The 733 doesn't need one. The 734, 738, and 739 do becasue they are so long.

No Tailskid

The 777-200 does not have a tail skid. It only has a tail strike detection system that consists of a two inch blade target and two proximity sensors installed on the aft body. If the blade target is sheared off, the EICAS caution message TAIL STRIKE is displayed and an aural beeper sounds in the flight deck.

The normal lift-off attitude of the 777-200 is 8.5 degrees. With the main wheels still on the runway and landing gear struts extended the tail strike pitch attitude is 12.1 degrees. On a normal takeoff you would have just over 3 feet of clearance.

The 777-300 has a tail skid system. The tail skid uses the main landing gear actuation system for extension and retraction. Normal liftoff in a -300 occurs at 7.0 degrees and a tail stike is possible over 8.9 degrees.

The new 777-300ER has software in the fly-by-wire control system to prevent tail strikes from occuring by limiting pitch attitude prior to main wheels leaving the runway. That software does not exist in the older -200/300s.

It would be very difficult, but not impossible, to have the aircraft loaded incorrectly and not know. There is a nose gear oleo pressure switch that provides an automatic cross check of the CG to ensure the correct stab greenband has been selected.

It will be interesting to see the outcome of the investigation into this incident as it looks to be a pretty serious strike.

Thanks for that information.

Chemgoo

In the first picture, the FO obviously forgot to turn off the chemtrail dispensing device, I guess we are just lucky that Robert Budde thinks it is condensation .

 

[Mudworm]

No - it looks like the chemgoo tank exploded and they still had a full load on board. Sabotaged by Denver130??
