Thanks Carlos...31 cm tail clearance is normal?... :o couldn't these guys wait for the wing to lift the airplane a bit before rotating?

It is interesting that pilots have to rely on crew members input when they suspect a tailstrike happened.

For a multimillion dollar plane, tt is easy to think how they could benefit by just installing a couple of cameras on different parts of the aircraft.
