Unintended Tail Dragger: Prolonged Tail Strike at Milan

Fear of Landing

AUGUST 2, 2024

I’ve never seen a tail strike quite so… prolonged. The eleven-year-old Boeing 777-300ER, owned by Latam Airlines and registered in Brazil as PT-MUG, was operating flight LA8073 from Milan to São Paulo, Brazil. The nose is high in the air with the Boeing’s tail scraping along the runway as a grey plume of smoke forms.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2024

On the 9th of July 2024, flight LA8073, operated by the Chilean airline LATAM, departed from Milano Malpensa for a passenger flight to São Paulo, Brazil. There are a number of tail strike incidents caused by the take-off weight being logged as lower than it actually was. These V-speeds need to be calculated for every flight.
