Zusammenfassung:	Systems, methods, and apparatus for reducing the probability of the occurrence of an aircraft's tailstrike are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a disclosed method for reducing a probability of an occurrence of a tailstrike for an aircraft comprises determining whether a tailstrike has a first probability of occurring by using tailstrike related data. The method further comprises producing a tactile warning to a pilot of the aircraft, when at least one processor determines that a tailstrike has the first probability of occurring. In at least one embodiment, the determining of whether a tailstrike has a first probability of occurring comprises determining whether an aircraft pitch attitude is greater than a first probability threshold by using the tailstrike related data; and determining that a tailstrike has the first probability of occurring, when the aircraft pitch attitude is greater than the first probability threshold.
