    Applicable to: ALL INTRODUCTION If tailstrike is not a concern for the A318, the importance of this subject increases as fuselage length increases. Therefore, it is particularly important for A321 operators. Tail strikes can cause extensive structural damage, which can jeopardize the flight and lead to heavy maintenance action.
  • Page 360 An abrupt increase of rotation rate close to liftoff might lead to a tailstrike. If the established pitch rate is not satisfactory, the PF must correct it as soon as detected. CONFIGURATION (NOT APPLICABLE TO A318) When performance is limiting the takeoff weight, the flight crew uses TOGA thrust and selects the configuration that provides the highest takeoff weight.

    GENERAL DISPATCH POLICY Airbus recommends to crosscheck at dispatch, in addition to the regulatory performance requirements, that in the forecast conditions, the FLD for the planned mass is less than the available runway length (LDA). This check should be made for both the destination and the destination alternates.
  • Page 380 For example, if the flight crew expects to use idle reverse thrust only, they should establish the FLD without reverse thrust. When the runway is wet or contaminated, Airbus recommends the use of maximum reverse thrust. Exceptionally, the flight crew may use idle reverse in wet conditions, when it is ensured that a safe stop with spoilers and wheel braking alone can be made on a runway contaminated with standing water.
