| | Tail Skid - ochrana trupu letadla - pouze při vzletu, nikoli při přistání!
[737-800/-900]
The tail skid assembly consists of a cartridge assembly, tail skid, fairing (skirt) and
shoe. The fairing provides an enclosure for the actual tail skid structure. The shoe
is fitted to the bottom of the fairing.
The cartridge assembly consists of a crushable honeycomb material. When the tail
skid strikes the runway the skid moves upward and the honeycomb material
crushes. The tail skid is serviceable when the cartridge warning decal shows both
green and red. The green disappears gradually as the cartridge is crushed. When
the warning decal is all red, the cartridge must be replaced.
The shoe is what contacts the runway in the event of an over rotation. The shoe
surface displays “wear dimples” which serve as a reference for shoe replacement |
