Picture: that Australian DHC-8 tail scrape last week...

Post by Stratofreighter »

Qantas reported a Qantaslink Dash 8-400 contacted the runway surface with its tail while landing in Brisbane at about 14:30L arriving from Roma.

The aircraft received minor damage, it was a tail scrape not a tail strike, and passengers most likely did not notice the tail contact at all. The aircraft is being inspected.

On Nov 8th 2013 the ATSB reported the aircraft involved was VH-QOT.

After landing the crew noticed a "touched runway" light and advised air traffic control of a possible tail strike.

A runway inspection confirmed a tail contact with the runway.
