This second Video Safety Bulletin has made use of recent data collected at UND Aerospace and is disseminating this data in a dynamic video to illustrate the risk of possible tail strikes occurring during the takeoff and landing phases. While this risk is prevalent in any UND Aerospace aircraft, even transport category aircraft are susceptible to striking a tail if certain conditions exist. Keep the tips offered in this video in the back of your mind on your next flight and never miss an opportunity to avoid a tail strike by executing a smooth go-around.

The AeroCast staff would like to give a shout-out to Eric Basile from Roscoe, Il and to Attilio De Luca from Rome, Italy for sending in the latest batch of fantastic Fan Photos. Thanks fellas!
Have fun and fly safe!
