"AAIB investigation to Boeing 737-8K5, G-TAWY. Tail strike on takeoff, Manchester Airport, 9 March 2022.
During takeoff on a training flight the trainee co-pilot rotated the aircraft too rapidly, causing the aircraft’s tail to strike the runway. The co-pilot had experienced several delays during his training which would have made it harder to learn the correct technique. His low experience coupled with a slight crosswind is likely to have exacerbated the situation".
=Nature of Damage to airframe=
Per the above AAIB report "Minor damage to the tail skid and paint damage on the aft drain mast"
