A321 TOGA and Tail Strike!

Our feed is always around 20 seconds out after we hit the ‘go live’ button (quite a bit more complexed than that). But as we started the feed, this A321neo from Aberdeen was on approach so we went for it. But the feed went ‘live’ to the viewers as the jet was climbing-out. So here it is! A full-on Touch and go, with a tail strike - checkout the paint dust after contact! You can also see the empennage shaking as it drags.
I thought the pilot had it, but the wind was swirling over the Office buildings on the Bath Road. And there’s a gap between the open reach building and the next set of office buildings, which allows the gusts to flow unrestricted across the runway.
In my view, the pilot deserves a medal! ‪@BritishAirways‬ training could use this in a scenario - happy to supply the footage FOC chaps 😉 but seriously, well done that Pilot.
I have to say, I had no chance to watch it back during the live, but Gilly had a quick look and called Tail Strike. I knew it was close, but due to the small monitor and being ‘in the moment’ I missed the tail drag. So good spot GP.
This has to go down as one of our best moments, just a shame we were 20 seconds late. Still, here’s how it’s played-out

I was in a BA plane from ABZ years ago, and it was similar to this. To be honest, the cross winds at ABZ should mean that the pilots are used to this. My flight landed 1st go, but I've never seen the tarmac on both sides so closely, and I hope it's the last.

[@ConorMadden752]

I'd say an excellent job by the crew and an unfortunate situation leading to the tail strike. My guess as to what happened: 1: Stable approach over the threshold and right wing dipped to counteract being blown across the runway after decrabbing (standard) 2: Initial bounce on one wheel leads to a heavy touch down on both. Go around probably called at heavy touch down in anticipation of another bounce. Spoilers start to deploy but as soon as TOGA is selected, they auto retract. 3: A gust hits the aircraft at the worst moment, catching and lifting the now spoiler free wings. Although TOGA has been selected, the relatively long spool up time means there is a few second lag between idle at the flare and full commanded thrust. 4: The second the wing lifts, you can see an immediate right roll command, and with the thrust kicking in, and workload incredibly high and capacity low, it would be incredibly easy to prioritise getting away, and forgetting you're in the tailstrike prone A321, and not the 319/20 you'd been flying the day before. Just my two cents, but I'd say the worst part of this crews day was the rotten luck in having the event filmed 🤣

I agree, especially the aprt about the spoilers retracting, initially thought they were inputting a right roll there but the aileron isn't moving in that instance so it does look like the spoiler came up, then retracted. Interesting that they didn't come up after the first touchdown but I guess there wasn't enough weight on the wheel to trigger them

[@peteconrad2077]

Why would they have clean wings having just touched down. Very very unlikely.

[@Payne2view]

Wow, that was a close call but the pilot(s) pulled it off and prevented it being a disaster. Congratulations to them. I can imagine the passengers starting to clap when it landed but then whoops.

@@ScreaminEmu You're a liar.

[@Haz0052-tu7rr]

@@ScreaminEmu Well I'm fairly sure that it wasn't pilot induced. I mean, it had a nice stable approach, with a nice decrab maneuver, perhaps a little bit of a float?, but made a touchdown right on the 1000ft markers. Obviously an initial touchdown with just one wheel, causing the plane to bounce, the Pilot Flying does a nice job of stabilising the aircraft for the next (hard) touchdown. The Pilots have by then initiated the Go Around maneuver, as you can see the spoilers starting to deploy, before being counteracted by the TOGA input. However, in the high stress environment caused by Go Arounds, there doesn't seem to be much right aileron input, and when a sudden gust hits the plane, the pilots are probably ill-prepared to deal with such an event, resulting in the near Pod strike. They recover the aircraft with a right aileron input, and are probably trying to get away quickly, probably causing the Pilot Flying to forget that it is the tailstrike prone a321 that they are flying (remember that pilots are rotated between different aircraft in the a320 family, as they share a common type rating, so they are probably used to the shorter a320, which BAW operate in far larger numbers than the a321)

No tailstrike mate. Three things, neos have tailstrike protection written into their control laws. It isn't perfect but I think it definitely helped here. Secondly, no puff of smoke indicative of a strike. You would get that even on a damp runways. Third, a tailstrike no matter how light warrants a major check. The aircraft continued on its normal rotation that day. Maybe change the video title before the speaker of the house asks you to withdraw for the remainder of todays sittings Ps to the other posters talking about the movements of the control surfaces, you can't actually tell from the outside if they are demanded by the pilot or the computers when the plane is in normal law
