. Continue the landing
. Keep thrust at idle
. Be aware of the increased landing distance.
In case of a more severe bounce, the flight crew should not attempt to land, because the remaining runway length might not be sufficient to stop the aircraft. For more information, refer to the Flight Operations Briefing Note Bounce Recovery – Rejected Landing.

IV.2 Training Programs Tailstrike prevention should be part of the recurrent training program, and Operators should provide adequate flight crew briefings.
Airbus has released a new document in electronic format called Tailstrike Avoidance e-briefing. This Airbus e-briefing provides several types of multimedia information in a single document, for flight crew self-education and/or instructor briefings, including: Documentation, videos, powerpoint presentations with sound.
Relevant technical data in the Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM), such as aircraft geometry limits (e.g. gear extended) and pitch attitude at touchdown, also provides the flight crew with an awareness of the aircraft characteristics, and helps to avoid a tailstrike.
V Summary of Key Points The following key points will help the flight crew to reduce the risk of tailstrike at landing:
. Fly a stabilized approach (i.e. pitch, thrust, flight path angle, VAPP)
. Do not chase the glide slope when close to the ground, and carefully monitor the pitch and sink rate
. Adapt the flare height to the aircraft inertia
. Reinforce PNF callouts during final approach to prevent excessive deviation of flight parameters (e.g. high sink rate when close to the ground, a decrease in speed below VAPP, etc.)
. Maintain the pitch attitude prior to touch down 中国航空网 www.aero.cn 航空翻译 www.aviation.cn 本文链接地址：Landing Techniques Preventing Tailstrikes at Landing 防止机尾擦地(5)
