Icelandair 737 Tailstrike YYZ

[pelmet]

Icelandair flight FI603, a Boeing 737-9 (registration, TF-ICA) aircraft, was on approach to Toronto,
ON (CYYZ) Runway 33R when a glide slope fluctuation caused the autopilot to disconnect. The
flight crew continued flying the approach manually. The aircraft deviated above the glide slope
(GS) in the later part of the approach, as a result the pilot flying (PF) increased the rate of decent.
Just prior to the point of flare, the flight crew increased the nose up pitch to slow the aircraft, but
the aircraft touched down hard and bounced. The PIC called for a go around after the bounce and
the aircraft was brought around for a second approach. The aircraft landed without further incident.
The next flight crew noticed that the tail skid was damaged on their walkaround. Maintenance
confirmed the tail skid crush cartridge needed to be replaced, there was no other damage to
aircraft.

The tail strike crush cartridge worked. Non event.
