Narrative:
Iran Air flight IR3332, an ATR 72-600 (72-212A), suffered a tail strike on landing at Tehran-Mehrabad Airport (THR/OIII).
The approach was stabilized until the nose dropped. In the ensuing recovery maneuver, the tail struck the runway.

Causes:
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Board determines the probable cause(s) of this incident to be: excessive pitch-up of the airplane while landing with a tailwind by dual input orders of pilots, which resulted in a tail strike following a bounced landing. The human error arose from the dual input control column on opposite orders, which occurred from altitude of 15 ft. from the runway.
