Mohd. Afiq A. 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2009 I don't think it's common. With the right technique and procedures applied, it shouldn't really be a problem. But there are things that we have no control off, such as windshear/local environment that could lead to a tailstrike. Nevertheless, pilots would do their very best to avoid all of these unwanted things from happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
